Funding for Disabled Artists

The Arts Council England has announced that the next deadline for applications under its "Unlimited Commissions" scheme is the 18th October 2010.  The scheme which is supported by London 2012, the UK Arts Councils and the British Council aims to commission new work that is artistically led by disabled artists and celebrate the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Grants of between £25,000 and £50,000 are available to disabled and Deaf artists, and disabled and Deaf-led arts organisations, who wish to develop their work, strengthen their artistic practice, challenge perceptions and forge new partnerships with presenting venues and events.
