DAN (Disabled Artists' Network)
DAN was a continuation of Wolf Photography's project 'Living with PTSD' which was a series of exhibitions and workshops funded by Arts Council England and The National Lottery. You can find out more about the former exhibition and activities on http://www.wolf-photography.com/html/exhibition_lwptsd.html.
DAN was run by Wolf Photography, a company that promotes creativity as a coping mechanism for disability from 2015 to 2024. The project has now closed down.
Project Purpose was
To provide online resources for artists
To evidence creativity as a coping mechanism for disability or to provide a sense of well-being
To raise awareness of disabilities, particularly mental health
To fight the stigma people with disabiities face, particulary those with invisible wounds
To help disabled and non-disabled artists establish a track record as exhibitors in order to develop a career in the Arts
I would like to thank al the artists that took part in the project and all the volunteers and companies that supported me over the years.
All the best
