Arts & Disabilities

The Citadel has a firm belief that all aspects of the arts should be inclusive; not exclusive.

This means that everyone should be able to experience, first-hand, any artistic activity they are interested in.

The Arts and Disabilities department at The Citadel concentrates on programming activities that are open to all, regardless of ability. The classes run on a weekly basis covering many different areas of art, from writing to painting, modelling to circus skills!

Citi Dis Arts

Wednesday 10am - 12pm

Circus skills, exotic animals, singing, sculpting, writing... These are just a few of the types of FREE events that are held at The Citadel as part of the Citi Dis Arts workshop. The workshops are led by experienced artists, and are for people with disabilities.

Places are limited, so booking is advisable.
