Deaf and Disabled Communities
Project Arts Centres' work with deaf and disabled communities
Since early 2023 Project Arts Centre has been working with Deaf artist Lianne Quigley to look at ways of expanding opportunities for Deaf artists and audiences.
We’re delighted to announce that Project Arts Centre in partnership with Dublin Theatre of the Deaf, have been awarded the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission Grant to carry out a big piece of work over the next year.

Residency Programme for Deaf artists
The aim of the project is to establish a meaningful partnership between Project Arts Centre and the Deaf community; to raise visibility and awareness, and encourage crucial dialogue around the barriers for Deaf people engaging in the arts and cultural sector; to promote new ideas and create practical change through training, artistic support, ongoing engagement with the wider Deaf community and the presentation of ambitious new work by and for Deaf artists and audiences.
