coLAB Inclusive Arts Event
Fish Creek | 9–10 October 2026

Join us in Fish Creek for two fun days of creativity, connection and celebration at the coLAB Inclusive Arts Event.

Bringing together acclaimed artists, performers, disability advocates and community members, coLAB is a unique event that champions inclusive arts practice and showcases the power of creativity to connect people across lived experiences.

Over two vibrant days, audiences can participate in hands-on workshops, enjoy live music and performance, engage in thought-provoking conversations, and experience a diverse program of arts events throughout the township of Fish Creek.

Festival highlights include songwriting with award-winning musician Eliza Hull, movement and dance with Jessica Lesosky, conversation with leading disability advocate Carly Findlay, community singing with Jane Coker, a family experience for babies and carers, and a rich program of free street performance by some of Australia's most exciting inclusive theatre and performance companies.

On the Friday afternoon there will be a First Nations welcome featuring smoking and dance, followed by the coLAB Piano Lounge Soirée, a glamorous evening of music, food and performance. On Saturday, Fish Creek will come alive with roaming performers, artist talks, workshops and family-friendly experiences before concluding with a joyful closing celebration at the Ride the Wild Goat Sculpture Park.

Whether you're an artist, arts worker, disability advocate, family member, neighbour, community supporter, or simply curious about inclusive arts, coLAB offers an opportunity to experience outstanding creative work, meet new people and be part of a welcoming and accessible cultural event.

Come for a workshop, stay for a performance, join a conversation, and celebrate the creative contributions of artists and disability advocates.
