Artlink Arts Access
Artlink Arts Access was established in 1984 to support local residents with experience of disability to access the cultural riches of Edinburgh. In recent years Artlink has looked at ways to support and improve access for individuals with a visual impairment to the arts in Edinburgh.
Their In the Frame initiative provides advice and training to arts venues and through this, a programme of descriptive events. All events are small and friendly, with Artlink offering a single point of contact for information and booking.
To book or for more information, contact Susan at Artlink.
