The Independent Street Arts Network (ISAN) is holding meetings for Deaf and disabled artists who are interested in making Street Arts work. At these meetings you can find out more about the challenges, inspirations and practicalities of working outdoors from people who have already done it.

The programme will include presentations from Daryl Beeton and Garry Robson, both currently making successful work outdoors, who will share their practical and creative experiences. There will also be producers of Street Arts festivals speaking about programming, and representatives from the Arts Council to speak about the importance of Street Arts within their overall Outdoor Arts Strategy. There will also be an opportunity to network with other artists and with ISAN members.

The meetings are timed so that it is possible to go on to see work by Deaf and disabled artists close to the meeting venue.

London 5th September 10.30am – 1pm at the British Counci in Spring Gardens

Liberty Festival is taking place on the same day ‘Celebrating the contribution of Deaf and disabled people to London's culture’ in Trafalgar Square from 1pm

Manchester 18th September 3pm - 5.30pm at the Green Room in Whitworth Street West

Deaf and disabled artists who are part of the DeciBel programme will be performing in various parts of the city with outdoor work taking place from approximately 6pm.

We hope these meetings will give you the practical information and creative inspiration to make the move outside!
