In art, inclusion is important. It enables everybody to enjoy, create, and engage with art irrespective of their abilities. By doing this, not only does it enrich the world of art but also creates a more understanding and sympathetic society.

At Culture Lab we are passionate about making art available for all. Our Art & Inclusion pillar concentrates on fostering inclusivity in arts. For us, art should be for everyone. Here are some amazing instances of inclusive artistic practices from across Europe that inspire us.
