CRIPtic Arts exists to ignite disabled excellence across the arts

We provide active disabled leadership which advances world-class arts work with disabled creatives. From high-quality community activities to showcasing breakthrough performers; we’re blazing a revolution in accessibility.

We are a creatively courageous, accessibility-driven organisation, forging diverse disabled excellence, with community, ethics, and solidarity at the heart of our work.

When we talk about disabled people, we mean “people who face disableist [including audist] barriers”, or “people who identify themselves as deaf or disabled – or are identified by others as deaf or disabled in society”. We also prioritise artists who face particularly high barriers to access and where other organisations are less likely to meet their needs.

In 2022, the Shaw Trust named us one of the 25 most influential disabled-led community organisations in the Disability Power 100.
