Bounce Arts Festival is testament to the bold belief in our artists with disabilities, d/Deaf artists and neurodivergent artists as uniquely creative, enriching and diverse. All our artists self declare as d/Deaf, disabled or neurodivergent; we’re disabled-led, and while that may go without saying—I think it still needs to be proudly stated. This is a festival created by and for disabled, d/Deaf and neurodivergent people.

Transcending barriers, celebrating ability and disability; disturbing myths and illuminating the creative practice of disabled artists on a professional platform: Bounce is our showcase where every aspect of diverse identity is celebrated.

This year Bounce is happening in Belfast and Derry~Londonderry. As for many in the arts sector, our budgets remain tight. While we don’t compromise on quality or on accessibility, we have scaled back to provide the best festival in a more focused way. This year we have a range of ticket prices for events, gorgeous merchandise, and new donation stations. If you like what we do, we hope you will support us in whatever way you can.
