| PREFACE Based at Dungannon Community Arts Studio, Dungannon Disability Arts was establised in 1995. Funded by Dungannon & South Tyrone Borough Council and The Arts Council of Northern Ireland, the programme has been developing from strength to strength with new projects being introduced on a regular basis. Our programme exists to empower, enhance and enrich the quality of the lives of people with disabilities through a participatory creative experience. The Visually Impaired Group have been attending the studio for about four years and in this time have produced some amazing public art pieces, all of which are displayed at various locations in Dungannon. As individuals, the group members always have interesting and funny little anecdotes and, as a result, took to the verbal arts like the proverbial duck to water. What was intitially daunting turned into an exciting challenge. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate everyone involved in tis project and who knows where you go from here. Aine Dolan - Community Arts Officer |
