elevate 2026: develop your practice

This new grant will support professional artists who work in socially engaged or collaborative arts practice with disabled people of all ages.  This opportunity is funded by the Arts Council.

Socially engaged/collaborative artists work with people to create art. They involve communities in debate, collaboration, and/or social interaction to create art over long periods of time. We will prioritise artists that have the experience of working with disabled people or that have a strong interest to do so outlined in their application. 

 The Elevate Art Grants support the County Arts Plan Creating with Communities.

 We welcome applications from disabled artists and encourage applications that champion inclusion and creativity.
