Disrupt Disability Arts Festival

Project Arts Centre & Online, Thursday 5th March - Saturday 7th March

Disrupt Disability Arts Festival is a disability-led and disability-focused arts festival championing the creativity, voices, and perspectives of disabled artists. Now entering its third year, the festival brings together theatre, dance, literature-based performance and visual arts, all delivered through relaxed engagement formats in Dublin and online that ensure accessibility for audiences across Ireland and beyond.

Disrupt is a boundary-pushing celebration of disability arts that challenges stereotypes. The festival actively dismantles barriers to artistic engagement, providing a shared space where artists and audiences with lived experience of disability can come together to reimagine what art and access can be. The unique festival is growing with care. Disrupt is a movement rooted in community and inclusion, focused on building a sustainable platform that amplifies disabled voices and reshapes narratives while celebrating the richness of disabled experience.

The festival’s hybrid events (in-person and online) open up the programme to wider disability communities, but also to carers and national arts audiences who may face economic or geographical barriers.

Join Disrupt Disability Arts Festival from 5 – 7 March 2026 at Project Arts Centre.

You can also enjoy Disrupt from the comfort of your own home. An online ticket gives you access to the live stream at the time of the event, with on-demand viewing available until 7 April 2026.
