Second Echo Ensemble

Second Echo Ensemble (SEE) is a disability-led arts organisation based in lutruwita/Tasmania, dedicated to breaking down barriers in the arts and creating a more inclusive cultural landscape. Our mission is to amplify the voices of diverse artists, fostering their growth and leadership through mentorship, training, and performance opportunities. SEE works to celebrate every story, ensuring that the experiences of disabled artists are seen, heard, and valued in both local and global contexts.

SEE addresses the systemic inequality that has long marginalised artists by providing pathways to professional careers, skills development, and cross-industry collaboration. We believe that art is a catalyst for change, capable of creating a more equitable and connected world. Through our Pathways to Work program, residencies, and community projects, we empower individuals facing barriers such as neurodivergence and chronic health conditions to achieve lasting employment in the arts and beyond.

Our current priorities include expanding our Pathways to Work program to more regions, supporting emerging artists through mentorship, and creating new works that highlight the diversity and strength of our community. Funding will support the growth of these initiatives, enabling us to reach more artists, expand our impact, and further challenge societal perceptions of disability in the arts.

SEE is uniquely positioned to drive this change due to our extensive experience, national and international partnerships, and our unwavering commitment to inclusivity, visibility, and advocacy. We invite you to join us in creating a more diverse and transformative arts sector.
