The Arts and Disability Forum (ADF) organised by ART:DIS, and supported by National Arts Council Singapore, returns for its sixth edition in 2025. This year’s forum expands discussions on accessibility from diverse Asian perspectives, bringing together voices from across the region and in Singapore to share their journeys toward a more inclusive future. Attendees will explore key topics such as inclusive programming, professional practice development, and authentic representation, hearing directly from individuals with lived experiences as well as creative practitioners and cultural institutions. With an expected 300 sector professionals, creatives, academics and programmers in attendance, explore key trends and best practices in the field to cultivate more diverse and inclusive audiences.
Supported by the National Arts Council with programme partner Esplanade, knowledge partner Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts and University of the Arts Singapore, and programme collaborators National Gallery Singapore, Singapore Art Museum and National Heritage Board, let’s learn, share and grow together for a better tomorrow that embraces everyone!
