Canada’s oldest and largest disability arts organization.
The National accessArts Centre (NaAC), formerly known as the In-Definite Arts Society that was founded in 1975, was created in 2020 following the amalgamation of In-Definite Arts with its sister disability arts organizations Momo Movement and Artistic Expressions. As Canada’s first multidisciplinary disability arts company, the NaAC provides artistic training, creation, and exhibition/presentation opportunities for artists with developmental, physical, and acquired disabilities.
The NaAC supports more than 300 artists living with developmental and/or physical disabilities through on-site studio supports and workshops, and an even broader community of Canadian artists with disabilities through immersive programs delivered online. The NaAC currently operates a multidisciplinary studio space in Calgary, and the Won Lee Community Arts Hub in Toronto.
