The Emergent – a hybrid residency support programme for early career disabled artists.
Award Information
- Receiving an award of £5,000, the selected artist will take part in a residency where, in addition to receiving expert support and mentoring to inform their practice, they can use facilities and technical input to develop new or existing artwork.
