Funding opportunities for disabled artists across the UK
Closing date: 29 Sep 2025
The Open Awards 2025/26 offer ten funding opportunities for disabled artists based in England, Scotland, or Wales. A total of £413,000 is available, with individual awards ranging from £15,000 seed commissions to up to £80,000 for major production-ready support.
This commissioning round aims to support bold and brilliant disabled artists in creating, developing, and sharing extraordinary work.
Applications are welcomed from disabled artists across all disciplines and backgrounds, including those who may not have applied previously. Artists with boundary-pushing ideas who are seeking support to bring their vision to life are encouraged to apply.
These awards are made possible with the support of Arts Council England, Arts Council of Wales, and Creative Scotland.
