Melbourne Venue Guide cover by AAV.

Our second edition of our accessible venue guides.

The EASE ticketing program expanded to include a venue guide to Victorian sports and recreation facilities. This was funded by the Victorian Government and the City of Melbourne and ran for many years. The guide let people know the access provided at venues across Victoria. Many venue operators thought about access in new ways, or for the first time.

In 1992 the Disability Discrimination Act was passed in parliament. Finally!

We ran the ‘10 x 10’ Program. Where we paired up established Australian artists with Emerging Deaf and Disabled artists to take part in a mentorship program. By the end of the Program, we exhibited their work at the National Gallery of Victoria.

‘Stormy Weather’ was a major touring exhibition featuring Deaf and Disabled artists alongside popular contemporary artists of the time.

Saturday Morning Studios

AAV supported the running of the Koori Art Program at Fitzroy Allstars Gym. The final exhibition “FEELEN BOORDUP” (Feeling Good) was a huge success. Over $5,000 worth of artwork sold during the exhibition.

We started the Saturday Morning Studios in 1990!

We started Art Day South, the first of our modern studios!
