Anthem’s Atsain funding is enabling UCAN to develop and expand our music participation work with vision impaired members (aged 25 and under). We are using this to develop new best practice guidelines and techniques to share with partners and networks, explore new ground in music technology accessibility, and deliver accredited Arts Awards to participants.
Members have full choice and control over the direction of their musical projects and development. We also support members in collaborating on each others’ projects and sharing skills.
