The Unlimited Partner Awards give disabled artists an opportunity to create extraordinary new work. Artists can apply for awards between £15,000 and £60,000.
This initiative is part of Unlimited’s remit to dismantle barriers faced by disabled artists. Founded in 2013, it became an independent organisation this year, in April 2022.
The commissions are funded by Arts Council England, Arts Council Wales, Creative Scotland and 17 partner organisations. The British Council has contributed £280,000 which will go towards the seven international awards. Artists can apply for one national award and one international award.
Applications close Monday 31 October 2022.
