Paid Opportunity for Young Disabled Creatives

This is a paid, national opportunity for disabled, deaf, chronically ill and/or neurodivergent people aged 14-26. 

Applications are welcome from individuals at any stage of their artistic journey, with a particular focus on those in the early stages of their creative development. No prior experience is required, as this opportunity is designed to provide a space for young people to experiment and explore new approaches to making art.
