Unlimited is an arts commissioning programme offering talented disabled artists funds and mentoring support to develop, produce and show ambitious work. Delivered in partnership by Shape Arts and arts-producing organisation Artsadmin, Unlimited aims to embed work by disabled artists within the UK and international cultural sectors, reach new audiences and shift perceptions of disabled people.
Unlimited works with disabled artists from all over the UK – England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, offering funding for research and development, to make small and large-scale projects happen in the UK and around the world, and awards for emerging artists who are new to art, early-career or haven’t had reached large audiences yet. Also available are full commissions (from an artist’s idea through to its realisation and touring) and commissions created through international collaborations.
There are a multitude of resources, case studies and blogs available on the Unlimited website.
Unlimited has provided nearly £4 million to 280 disabled artists since 2013 through commissions, awards and support.
