Abstract

Since the mid-1980s, a number of initiatives in Europe and the United Kingdom have sought to promote the participation of the disabled in artistic activities. A focal point for a European network linking organisations and individuals throughout Europe is provided by a European Resource Centre, based at Hertfordshire College of Art and Design in the United Kingdom, which publishes the journal Atria and which maintains the European Arts and Disability Database. Some other organisations publish their own newsletters, while certain other databases can provide relevant information.
