Unlimited are pleased to be hosting specific information sessions for disabled artists from communities that we feel have been underrepresented amongst our awardees. Having looked at data about who has applied in recent years, we’ll be focusing these on artists who identify as trans and non-binary, visually impaired and learning disabled. This is a great opportunity to find out more and ask any questions you have about applying for an Unlimited Commission award as well as speak with other artists and organisations.

We’ll be hosting sessions across three afternoons:

Monday 7 Sept - Focusing on visually impaired artists, with Co-host poet and performance artist Ellen Renton

Tuesday 8 Sept - Focusing on Trans & Non-Binary artists, with Co-host Octagon Norman from Season For Change

Wednesday 9 Sept -Focusing on Learning Disabled artists, with Co-host Ono Dafedjaiye from Heart n Soul

Each afternoon we’ll have a series of hour long sessions for small groups.

Timings:

13:00-14:00

14:10-15:10

15:20-16:20

16:30-17:30
