The *International Teaching Artists Collaborative (ITAC) Global Working Group on Accessibility was formed in 2022, following a presentation by Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts at the ITAC Conference in Oslo, Norway. The group concluded formal meetings in July of 2025. The working group was composed of teaching artists and arts administrators (with and without disabilities) from the USA, Singapore, the UK, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, India, South Africa, Belgium, and Ghana. The group came together to create resources for teaching artists, administrators, and organizations related to disability and accessible practice. This project was convened by Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts as part of the ITAC US Hub in collaboration with Heather Marshall, ITAC Innovator.
