Lack of Opportunities to Develop Creative Endeavours

569. 
     Artists with disability are not well promoted in the arts community and attitudes to the employment of people with disability in this sector are a constant barrier.⁶⁴¹
     
570. 
     There are insufficient statistics regarding people with disability working in the arts industry to provide comprehensive analysis of current trends.
     
571. 
     People often face discrimination in the audition and training processes for various performing arts, particularly on the basis of ‘visible’ disability.⁶⁴² Further, the lack of reasonable adjustments such as captioning and audio description, prevent people with disability from considering engaging in the arts community.
     
572. 
     People with disability are not encouraged to pursue a passion or career in the arts, nor is it sufficiently considered or promoted as a valid career path.
