Unlimited Partner Awards
About this opportunity
Unlimited Partner Awards support disabled artists to create ambitious new work across all disciplines including visual arts, performance, digital media, music, and interdisciplinary practice.

Projects can span the full development cycle from initial research through to public presentation and touring.
