Disability Arts Online (DAO) is a charitable arts organisation led by disabled people. We serve artists and arts audiences who face disabling barriers and, in doing so, enable social change. We occupy a unique global position with our website showcasing disability arts content, artist development programme, partnership work, accessible events and vibrant community of disabled creatives. 

Our mission is to champion disability arts and culture by nurturing creativity, connection and critique. Established in 2004, DAO has a rich history of challenging dominant narratives from a disability-led position in order to support sector change. We recognise that disability is an intersectional experience that can be isolating. Through our work, we create empowering opportunities for marginalised voices to be appreciated and understood. Disability Arts Online’s work is supported by Arts Council England.
