Description
Artsline is a small charity and will be celebrating its 25th Anniversary in 2006. It is our policy wherever possible to give employment opportunities to disabled people. Our main funded are the Arts Council, Association of Local Government and other charitable trusts. Fundraising is ongoing.
We take on volunteers as and when there are gaps or during a particularly busy period, ir Open House and now coming up to the Christmas period when the events page on our online database requires help.
Artsline also has an extremely successful project called Attitude is Everything (AiE) which addresses disability access to music venues, ie it runs Club Nights with a mixture of disabled/able bodied musicians/DJs. It also advises on access to the major music festivals such as Glastonbury or Reading and use 'mystery shoppers' to monitor disabled access to these events.
