What makes me: Australia Council for the Arts invites participation

What makes me is a project developed by the Australia Council for the Arts and invites us all to think about what art adds to your lives. 12 Australians have participated in producing personal "art cubes" demonstrating the scope of the project on its website.  Amongst them is Digby Webster, a young man with Down syndrome who is involved with several projects through Accessible Arts.  Digby's art cube is here.  Digby's cube includes photos, graphics and a short video of him a work, and performing with hip hop dancers, First Flight Crew.

All Australians can participate - instructions are on the project's website, that allow you to construct your own art cube, to post to your website. "As everyone's cubes are combined, we will gradually be building Australia's largest collaborative digital story."

If you decide to make an art cube with or about someone with Down syndrome, please let us know so that we can post a link .... and we'll have a go at making our own.
