Artist's Resources
With funding from Arts Council England, Shape has produced a range of online resources for deaf and disabled creative professionals. They include:
Creative Lives – the real stories behind deaf and disabled people who have made a career in the arts. The pages are packed with advice and inspiration.
Artist Resource Pack – Literally everything that you need to know about being an artist. From filling in a tax return to negotiating a contract it’s all there in these easy to use pages.
Rough Guide to Access to Work - One of the biggest hurdles for deaf and disabled people in the workplace is getting access support. Access to Work can provide the funding, but the process is never straight forward. The rough guide is the essential companion for employers, employees and self employed people working in the arts and creative industries.
New useful Resource - The Link Up team has also compiled a fantastic referral document that can point you in the direction of many other programmes, training opportunities and potential funders.
