Nirvanas Arts Collective has been built on the foundational belief that every person deserves equitable access to support, community services and the arts industry. We understand that the arts are a powerful tool for social and political change by uplifting the voices of marginalised individuals to be heard, challenging stereotypes and fostering understanding amongst communities. Nirvanas Arts Collective is but a small part in a wider socio-political movement to improve access to many spaces that non-disabled individuals often have the unknown privilege of accessing. 

​

We strive to support disabled artists in any way we can, and we will not ignore the importance of intersectional identities and experiences, and how this contributes to creative expression. We acknowledge the ways these identities can come up against social barriers within creative spaces that can create further marginalisation. We strive to be an anti-oppressive organisation who holds ourselves accountable to maintain the integrity of the organisation's morals and beliefs, and show this through all aspects of our mission; we do not tolerate discrimination or hate within our organisation.

​

Throughout our work, we promote the understanding and respect of everyone regardless of their gender, religion, disability or culture, and we actively celebrate our multi-cultural society. We want to break social barriers for all minorities to ensure everyone has equal access to arts opportunities and community services. We feel that everyone's fullest potential is only reached when they live as their most authentic self and we are committed to co-create a space with our members where all identities are accepted and celebrated. ​​​
