North West’s first neurodiversity arts festival to launch
Liverpool's major arts organisations will take part in North West England's first festival celebrating neurodivergent talent, it has been announced.
The Brain Charity, which is organising the Neurodiversity Arts Festival taking place between 20 and 29 September 2024, said the festival aims to inform and educate the public about what neurodiversity means and improve accessibility for neurodivergent people in public spaces.
Collaborative events will take place with Tate Liverpool, National Museums Liverpool, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, and the Bluecoat arts centre.
“We know that 15–20% of the population identify as neurodivergent,” Festival Organiser Chris Beaumont of The Brain Charity said.
“We believe the Neurodiversity Arts Festival will not only shed light on the diverse experiences and talents within this community but also foster a deeper understanding and acceptance of neurodiversity across society to create lasting change.”
