Participants will have the opportunity to explore various artistic practices, blending traditional mediums such as painting, drawing, and sculpture with accessible approaches to digital technologies like microphones, iPads and tablets. These tools may be used to create stop-motion animations, sound recordings, podcasts, and digital paintings. By combining Alister’s expertise in visual arts with Dale’s specialization in sound art and music, the program will offer a dynamic and supportive environment for artistic experimentation and growth.

The program will culminate in a variety of creative outcomes, such as recordings, performances, installations and sound sculptures. Through Alister and Dale’s extensive networks, participants will also have opportunities to present their work locally and beyond, expanding their reach and visibility as artists.

A core goal of the Out Hear Art Collective is to increase access to the arts and celebrate the diverse talents of participants. By encouraging innovation and collaboration, the program provides a platform for creating, exhibiting, and sharing original works, ensuring that the voices of artists with disabilities are heard and valued within the broader arts community.
