Disability Arts Cymru Disabled and/or Deaf Arts Commissions 2024

What’s it like to be you? What is your lived experience? What unique perspectives do you have as a disabled person? Disability Arts Cymru want you to show them by producing outstanding art, in any art form.

Disability Arts Cymru will select eight artists to receive £1250 each to help bring these ideas to life.

To Apply
 
You must be a current DAC member. Join here: bit.ly/DAC-Member
 
Membership is free to everyone who self-identifies as disabled or deaf according to the social model of disability.

Submit an application by Tuesday 19 November
 
Please submit up to 500 words or up to 5 minutes of video or audio recording, with some information about yourself, your arts practice, what work you plan to produce and how it reflects your experience as a disabled or deaf person. Submissions can be in BSL. You may also include examples of previous work either as links or uploads.

Applications will be judged on:
 
- The creative potential of the idea.
- The potential of the idea for highlighting lived experience.
- The potential of the opportunity to develop the artist's career.

At least two commissions will be Welsh language. We also particularly welcome applications that explore race or nature from the perspective of disability.

If you require this information in another format or have any questions, please contact post@dacymru.com or 07726 112784
