Disability and Deaf Arts in Nova Scotia

[trouble]

Disability and Deaf arts in Nova Scotia - A representative from the Canada Council for the Arts will be in Halifax the second week of September and is interested in meeting with artists within the "disabled and deaf" communities. Please share this information with anyone you know that might be interested. The Disability Arts Officer, Elizabeth Sweeney, with the Canada Council for the Arts is working on a series of policies so that the Canada Council can better support artists with disabilities and Deaf artists, and those working in the Disability and Deaf arts sectors. Ms. Sweeney will be visiting Nova Scotia during the second week of September, to visit with local artists, arts professionals and scholars in these sectors, to learn about their practices and discuss the local arts environment. She is looking for any contacts or names of artists with disabilities or Deaf artists, (or organizations supporting artists, arts professionals, etc…) including those working in Visual arts, Theatre, Music, Dance, Writing, Media, Film, Aboriginal, or Integrated arts. ANY help, is greatly appreciated. Please contact Elizabeth at elizabeth.sweeney@canadacouncil.ca, 1.800.263.5588 ext. 4689, TTY : 1-877-688-5501
