Spotlight
Welcome to Spotlight, the area of our website dedicated to showcasing national and international artists and organisations whose work is influenced or inspired by experience of disability, across all art forms.
For this, our inaugural edition of Spotlight, we invited three Irish artists, Bobby Byrne, Rosaleen McDonagh and Cathy Henderson, to submit an article introducing themselves and their work. The result? Three personal and candid accounts highlighting the way in which disability has informed their respective arts practice.
If you are an artist or organisation who would like to be featured in our Spotlight series, visit the Contribute section of this website to find out how you can get involved.
