Celebrating Disabled Artists: Sue Roff on Arts Project Australia
“I think it's really good to make people aware of what things are going on around the world, how people with disability are being able to fulfil what they need to do: confidence, self-esteem, feel good about themselves, be advocated for or helped advocate, be able to try things like you're doing.”
Ever wondered how art can transform lives, especially for those with disabilities? In this episode of 'Life Changes YOU', host Daniel sits down with Sue Roff, the Executive Director of Arts Project Australia, to shine a light on this inspiring initiative. Arts Project Australia is more than just an art studio; it's a vibrant community where disabled artists can express themselves and gain recognition.

Throughout the conversation, Sue emphasizes the importance of reducing stigma around mental health and disabilities. She highlights how supported studios play a crucial role in helping artists develop their careers and feel valued.
