Artists
This is a list of professional Deaf and disabled artists, or disabled-led companies, who are actively seeking international partners and opportunities. Each artist or company currently has work ready to tour or for exhibition. We are proud to list companies from all over the world.

We are eager to add new artists and companies to this global list. If you are a company which would like to be included, please contact us.

Although many of the companies and artists listed here are artists with international experience, we cannot vouch for every company in this global list.
All companies are encouraged to update their profiles with information about new works, exhibitions, tours or performances. Not all of that work has been seen or can be recommended.
Disability Arts International takes no responsibility for the accuracy of the information listed by individual companies or artists.
