Discussion themes:
-The relationship between the learning disability arts sector and the wider arts world?
-How are learning disabled performers and artists to be supported to create work of quality?
-Should we respond to learning disabled performances and exhibitions in the
same way as we respond to mainstream performances and exhibitions
-What are the barriers that prevent the work by learning disabled artists and performers being
significantly presented in the wider arts world
– Do learning disabled performers and artists bring something to the arts that
you wouldn’t otherwise see in the mainstream?

The conference was attended by learning disabled performers and artists,
UK and International arts organisations, local authority arts officers, academics,
students, funders and arts critics

Full report of this and other Creative Minds conferences will be published early in 2018
