Alter State is a celebration of disability, creativity and culture.
Co-presented by Arts Centre Melbourne and Arts Access Victoria, Alter State is a major arts and disability event engaging artists and audiences across Australia and Aotearoa (New Zealand).
In November 2021 Alter State will launch with a week-long digital program. Seeding something unique for arts and disability, the program invites audiences to gather, be curious, and connect with disabled artists across a range of free online events.
The Alter State Digital Launch will provide the foundation for the first major festival in late 2022.
