Danielle Gullotta has been leading the growth and development of the AGNSW’s range of inclusive Access programs since 2008. Danielle has been creating opportunities for individuals to imagine and think creatively about art in a safe environment where curiosity is stimulated with open-ended outcomes for engaging a wide and diverse range of children and adults with specific needs. Danielle has been an advocate for the positive benefits of engagement in the arts, for the education, health, ageing and disability sectors. Audiences are increasingly viewing the Gallery environment as a public space, which provides opportunities for stimulating and inspiring experiences for a diverse range of people, including individuals living with mental health conditions and dementia. Art is used to facilitate personal connections, meaningful social interactions and an immersion into visual culture.
