- About you
This is where you can tell us a little about you, if there’s anything to add. Are there any specific access requirements you want to make us aware of, and/ or childcare or care of dependents costs. You don’t have to explain why, or justify any request for support, we are open to discussing and finding the right support for you.
We are currently prioritising artists who may have been excluded or discriminated against or who otherwise face the consequences of past or present discrimination or disadvantage. Research shows that those from lower socio-economic backgrounds face additional barriers in the visual arts. If you want us to take any of this into account, please let us know. You do not need to include details about your personal circumstances and will not be called on for ‘proof’. (200 words.)

If you are submitting your application as an audio or video recording, please email a link rather than an attachment. If this is difficult, get in touch. No assessment of the production quality of audio or video recordings will be made but your responses must be clear so that the panel can understand them.
