Abstract
All forms of arts participation are likely to lead to positive outcomes,
but the nature and reach of these outcomes will differ. While arts
programs have increasingly found favor in disability communities,
these programs historically have been oriented toward therapeutic
outcomes. They have not been taken seriously in terms of artistic
outputs, the deeper benefits for participants, or potential wider societal
impact. At the same time, there is anecdotal evidence of increasingly
sophisticated artistic engagement involving artists with
disability that are gaining wider public attention, popularity, and
enabling a serious leisure experience for the artist with the opportunity
for professional artistic career development. This article demonstrates
how disability arts projects enable opportunities for casual
leisure, serious leisure, and professional artistic engagement and
examines the resultant social impact for each. To do this we investigate
the characteristics and outcomes of three projects through an
abductive research design involving a comparative qualitative casebased
approach.
