Adam Reynolds Award Programme

The Adam Reynolds Award is our flagship award for mid-career disabled artists, offering a bursary and residency opportunity to one artist each year. Alongside this main award, a shortlist of artists are selected each year to take part in the ARA Shortlist with an exhibition and small bursary award.
