WELCOME TO DDMAAC
|
VISION: Through DDMAAC, Stage Left cultivates grassroots conduits of cultural affinity, artistic autonomy and disability justice in Canada's Deaf/ Disability/ Mad Arts domain, and promotes the collective interests of artists whose lived experience of disablement advances artistic and aesthetic non-normativity.
Advocacy & SUpportS FOR DDMTSC* ArtsDDMAAC is a collective of diverse advocates, from within Stage Left's national network of collaborators, and the current, continually-evolving hub of 20-years of successful systemic advocacy for DDMSTC Arts.
Through DDMAAC, Stage Left offers solidarity and support services to diverse artists who experience disablement in the professional arts ecology, and collaborates with allied agents of change to advance disability justice: The prioritization of decolonization, anti-racism, anti-oppression and non-normalization in all things "access". While DDMAAC remains inclusive of the DDMSTC Arts domain's many disparate contributors, we prioritize supports for artists with impairment(s) who advance disability justice and non-normativity in their artistic practices and own advocacy efforts. DDMAAC is an initiative/ program of Stage Left Productions. Stage Left - and thus DDMAAC - is proudly supported by the Canada Council for the Arts, the Alberta Foundation for the Arts and Calgary Arts Development. |

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
DDMAAC acknowledges the Original Peoples in Canada as the sovereign stewards of the traditional territories we now occupy. We also acknowledge our Treaty obligations, and work daily to maintain good relations and uphold the 94 Calls to Action from the Truth & Reconciliation Commission.
We apologize for not yet being able to secure the funding needed to bridge the digital divide; meaning that we can't afford to provide full and proper access to our website and literature (which is ironic, considering that DDMAAC is Canada's only national arts support organization specifically attending to the collective interests of professional, diverse artists who live with some form of impairment!).
