Arts commissioning programme for disabled artists, Unlimited, is supporting a further nine works.
Supporting the most talented disabled artists from all over the UK, the programme covers a wide variety of disciplines, providing financial support and mentoring to the selected individuals.
In this funding round, the commissions include a dark comedy about life and death, a sound installation exploring homeless culture, a story about the rise and fall of British capitalism and being lifted by 20,000 helium-filled party balloons.
The nine awarded works were chosen by a panel chaired by Ruth Gould, artistic director for DaDaFest.
Awarded artist Aaron Williamson said, “Unlimited recognises that artists thrive when trusted to be ambitious, and this project would not even have been imagined, let alone made possible, without Unlimited’s integrated approach to artist development.
"We are extremely proud to be included in Unlimited’s programme of critically rigorous, innovative, and uncompromising disabled-led work.”
Unlimited is a £3m, three-year programme delivered in partnership by Shape Arts and Artsadmin with funding from Arts Council England, Creative Scotland, Arts Council Wales and Spirit of 2012.
