We’re partnering with 12 UK organisations to offer 17 awards to disabled artists. These awards will offer a grand total of £628,000 to commission artists on a national and international level. Our mission is to commission extraordinary work from disabled artists until the whole of the cultural sector does. This work will change and challenge the world. As the world’s largest commissioner of disabled artists, we’ve been dedicated to this work since 2013.
This year, we’re focusing on artworks that engage communities in meaningful ways, challenge audience perceptions, and enhance visibility for disabled artists. We’re looking for projects that are designed to be seen, offering dynamic and interactive experiences to broad audiences.
Working in partnership with organisations across the cultural sector is key to our long-term mission of not existing. Together we aim to support disabled artists in creating new work that captivates, inspires, and fosters deeper understanding and appreciation.
