Organisation

KCAT builds on a solid foundation of two decades of pioneering in the field of art and disability. We evolve and develop according to the aspirations of our artists, challenging misconceptions and offering new ways for artists and audiences to think about art and its place in the world. We dynamically adjust our programs to better fit the needs of the artists who access the centre. We maintain an open environment where the platforms on offer are as diverse as our participants. We employ and support artist professionals and collaborators who embody an ethos of excellence and professionalism We are dedicated above all to working inclusively, creating and exploring new ways for diversity and difference to be celebrated. We strategize a long-term approach with our artists, encouraging goal setting and planning into the future for continued development and opportunities for growth.
