Project Arts Centre is a proud member of The Temple Bar Access Alliance. 

The Temple Bar Access Alliance (TBAA) is a collective of arts organisations located in Temple Bar, Dublin, initiated by Project Arts Centre and Arts & Disability Ireland. TBAA is committed to enhancing accessibility for arts audiences with disabilities. 

The majority of Project Arts Centre is accessible for wheelchair users. The entrance to our building has an automated access door and both of our performance spaces have the facility for wheelchair spaces. Please advise our box office team when booking or leave a comment at checkout on your online order if you require a wheelchair seat or have any specific requirements. 

In 2026, Project will be exploring the use of NaviLens codes at various points of the building. NaviLens is a free application that uses colourful codes to assist users by p[providing artistic and navigational information around Project.    

There are 2 NaviLens apps. These are available for Apple and Android devices. 

NaviLens Go – This version of the app offers accessible information about key services in a format that best suits you. 

NaviLens – This version of the app offers accessible directions and wayfinding information.

Quiet spaces are sometimes provided at specific events and performances. These spaces are away from the other busier parts of the building, usually one of our dressing rooms, and include items like hot water bottles, blankets and fidget toys. 

If you would like early entry to the auditorium, please let a member of our box office team know at least 30 minutes before the show so that we can accommodate you. 

Guide dogs are permitted to performances, please advise our box office if you intend to attend with a guide dog. Water can be made available for guide dogs. The nearest green areas for guide dogs are located at Dublin castle or Dublin City Council Offices.  

Project Arts Centre offers a Sensory Tool Kit for anyone who may require it. It includes such items as ear defenders, sunglasses, nose clips, fidget toys and cushions.  

If there are sensory adaptations that you need to make, to have a more enjoyable experience at Project, please get in touch with Adrian at adrian@projectartscentre.ie.

Audio Description for live performance is a live verbal commentary providing information on the visual elements of a production as it unfolds, from sets, props and costumes to actors’ facial expressions and movements across the stage. Audio-described performances are available on certain performances throughout the year. 

The equipment for our audio described performances are currently rented from Arts & Disability Ireland. These are small handheld devices that you can collect from Box Office which will be connected to an earpiece.  

Irish Sign Language (ISL) is the sign language used in the Republic of Ireland. The language makes use of space and involves movement of the hands, body, face and head. A sign language interpreter interprets what a person says or signs simultaneously, or immediately afterwards. 

ISL performances are available on certain performances throughout the year. An interpreter will be present on stage and will be appropriately lit so they are as visible as possible.  

Induction loops and infrared systems enable people with hearing aids to receive amplified sounds from within a specific area directly into their hearing device, without interference from background noise being amplified too. In 2025, Project acquired individual loop systems for audience members to use during performances/events. These are currently being linked with our stage microphones by our tech department. Whilst more development and testing needs to be done on this, we endeavour to have this hearing loop system fully operational in mid 2026.  

Captioning gives deaf and hard of hearing people access to live performances and screenings. It is similar to television and film subtitling. Captioning converts the spoken word into text, which is displayed on one or more caption units situated on, above or next to the stage. 

Relaxed Performances are specifically designed to welcome people who will benefit from a more relaxed performance environment, including people with an Autism Spectrum Condition, sensory and communication disorders, or a learning disability. They also benefit people with hidden disabilities and people who require a more flexible environment. 

Our approach to disability language is rooted continuous dialogue with the disability community, both within the arts sector and beyond. We actively engage with artists, audiences, and organisations to ensure that the language we use is reflective of what is deemed appropriate and respectful. 

We acknowledge the rich diversity within the disability arts community, which encompasses a range of opinions on appropriate language. These opinions can be influenced by factors like age, education and type of disability. Therefore, we adopt a flexible approach, using interchangeable terms and adjusting our language when needed to respect individual preferences. 

We believe that individuals with disabilities are the experts on their own identities, experiences and related terminology. We believe it important to allow people to define themselves in whatever way they choose, even if the terms they use are considered outdated or inappropriate by others. 

We acknowledge the evolution of language occurs more rapidly in certain settings than in others. Although terminology used by government entities or educational institutions may be outdated in comparison to general conversation, we feel it is important to respect the language used in these contexts. 

We are committed to using inclusive, consistent language across all our communications, whether on our website, social media, or in-person interactions. 

We understand that the terminology related to disability is constantly changing. What was previously seen as acceptable may no longer be. We are dedicated to remaining connected with the disability community to make sure our language remains relevant and respectful. 

As Project Arts Centre has strong connections with the disability arts community, we have a unique opportunity to advise other organisations and touring companies on appropriate language. We understand that not everyone has the opportunity to participate in training or discussions on disability language. When engaging with artists, communities or organisations that might use unsuitable terminology, we will address the situation sensitively in a way that encourages constructive change.
