Attitude is Everything’s Inclusive Communities Project aims to build accessible music communities in areas of low arts engagement. Through the project we are ensuring that we grow our work with diverse communities, industry professionals and disabled people who live in these areas. Inclusive Communities has been designed as an action research project and has been testing different models that can strengthen access provisions in each local area.
Our projects have been designed around the principles of:
- Co-designing programmes with partners in both areas
- Researching and understanding local communities, and where we can add value
- Working with local communities at the heart of the work
- Offering practical guidance and support to the arts sector to enable local people to make their live events accessible to disabled artists, audiences, volunteers and professionals
- Ensuring our work has long lasting impact.
Since 2023, Attitude is Everything has worked with local communities in:
- Medway – Piloting a local authority led model
- Northeast of England – Piloting a venue led model
- Crawley – Piloting an organisational led model
