Australia Council for the Arts has announced three new initiatives that will better integrate and help artists with disabilities.

To mark International Day of People with Disability, the Australia Council has committed $300,000 to support a new Artists with Disabilities Program.

CEO Tony Grybowski said the Program would enable artists with disabilities to produce, present and tour their work through new grants opportunities. Grybowski said, ‘Individuals and groups who identify as having a disability can apply for grants of up to $10,000 for development and up to $20,000 for arts projects.’


The pilot program will be launched in the first half of 2014, supported through the new Unfunded Excellence funding for 2013/14.
