CONFERENCE THEME
The Conference will explore how artists can thrive in their creative pursuits with comfort, stability, and dignity.
Through a keynote address, performances, panel discussions and hands-on activities this gathering will highlight how accessibility, mental wellbeing, and inclusive practices can reshape the arts- proving that when accessibility and care lead the way, the arts can transform how we create and connect.

After the conference we’ll invite everyone to come unwind at our monthly Art Night at the Guild event and have fun with their fellow artists. Hands-on well-being!
