Access to the arts should be universal.
We make sure

Opening Doors is a Malta-based performing arts organisation working with adults with learning disabilities across Dance, Music and Theatre.

We train artists, develop original work, and create space for it to be shared.

From theatres, festivals, public spaces and events, our work is inclusive by design and uncompromising in quality.

disability is not a barrier to artistry.
access to the arts is not a favour.
It’s a right.
