About Chronically ill Artist Network
The Chronically ill Artists Network was formed in 2021 out of a frustration for the lack of support , awareness and opportunities for artists and arts professionals working, or unable to work in the arts with a chronic illness.
The network was founded by Louise Wildish and Tilly Branson who have between them over three decades of experience working in the arts. They both have chronic illnesses and define as disabled, and created the network to better support artists and advocate for a change in perceptions and awareness of chronic illness in the arts sector.
The network works nationally on a strategic level with organisations and individuals to advocate change through the provision of national campaigns, training, events and resources that create better understanding and ultimately opportunities for artists, producers, and arts professionals with chronic illness.
The network supports the social model of disability which denotes that it is society that creates barriers for disabled people, not the individuals' impairment (as in the medical model) The social model denotes that organisations, individuals, businesses and society should be responsible in making change to ensure that disabled people have access.
