“It’s care from the top down — institutions down to employees, artists, and people within — and it’s care from the bottom up as well.”

Multidisciplinary artist Dafe Pessu Orugbo reflects on the culture of care that lies at the heart of Safe to Create’s mission.

Safe to Create is a collaborative programme of supports dedicated to fostering safer, more respectful, and inclusive working environments across the arts and creative sectors. The programme works to strengthen workplace culture and practices by providing guidance, resources, and supports for artists, arts workers, and organisations.

‼️Resource Highlight from the Sector:

Through its Inclusive Museums Ireland project, The Hunt Museum collaborated with blind and visually impaired people, as well as autistic people, to identify barriers to access and make practical changes that have helped create a more welcoming, inclusive, and accessible museum experience for everyone.

Many of the barriers to access and inclusion identified by members of the working group at The Hunt Museum are now shared across museums, galleries, and cultural heritage sites throughout Ireland. These digital learning resources are intended for staff working at all levels within these settings.

The project ran from December 2023 to October 2024. It was funded by Rethink Ireland’s ‘Disability Awareness & Participation Fund’.

This resource is one of many available on Safe to Create's Resource Hub:
