Rural and regional Victoria | Collect data and deliver community planning forums and arts and disability training workshops in four regional areas |
Building organisational capacity | Expand capacity to research, identify and inform on suitable arts programs for people with disability |

An online database to empower Victorians with disability to engage in the arts has gone on to national success.
ARTfinder started out as an online, state-wide directory to improve access to inclusive arts programs across Victoria and has gone on to become Choose Art, a national online directory platform designed for and by deaf and disabled people.
One million Victorians live with a disability. With recent shifts to individualised funding, people with disability have greater self-determination but if they cannot easily locate suitable and accessible arts programs, their participation remains limited. Choose Art, an Australian accessible arts directory, makes it easy.
