Minister for the Arts, Don Harwin, said, “The arts community is unlike any other – one that champions creative expression and individuality without limitation. I know that each of these organisations will learn as much from this experience as the interns themselves, helping us to improve longer-term accessibility and employment prospects for people with disability across the State.”
