Arts-for-All

University of Atypical for Arts and Disability is a disabled-led organisation based in Belfast that supports and promotes work by d/Deaf, disabled, and neurodivergent artists in Northern Ireland and beyond. Its mission is to improve creative lives and help disabled people access the arts, guided by values of inclusion, equality, access, and human rights. Key activities include a year-round exhibition programme at its Atypical Gallery and the annual Bounce Arts Festival, which showcases innovative work across multiple art forms. The organisation also runs the Arts and Disability Access Awards, an accreditation scheme for accessibility best practice in other arts organisations. It offers volunteer programmes, artist support, training, and employment opportunities, and has an accessible studio space, the Ledger Studio, available for hire. The organisation's legal name is 'Arts and Disability Forum'.

Belfast Print Workshop is a city-centre print studio established in 1977, located in the heart of Belfast’s Cathedral Quarter. Housed in a historic former warehouse, the spacious, accessible workshop is equipped with traditional and contemporary printmaking equipment and is committed to a low-toxic environment. The organisation offers a variety of courses for all ability levels. A membership programme provides access to equipment, materials, and a network of artists. In 2020, an in-house gallery space was opened to exhibit work from members and visiting artists. The workshop delivers a year-round programme of exhibitions and events that showcases diverse printmaking techniques from both emerging and established artists. It also maintains a significant historical archive of prints from every edition printed at the workshop, which serves as a cultural resource for the region.
