2012 boost for disabled artists (From Somerset County Gazette)

SOUTH West artists will benefit from the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad Project, Unlimited, the UK’s largest programme celebrating arts, culture and sport by disabled and deaf people.

The £3million, three-year programme provides disabled and deaf artists with an opportunity to develop new work for the world stage.

The project will: · Enable talented disabled and deaf artists to create exciting, quality new work across all disciplines leading up to and including the Olympic and Paralympic Games with awards of £25-50,000 as part of Unlimited Commissions.

· Unlimited Presents will bring new audiences to disability arts through major pieces of new work showcased at arts festivals, venues and London 2012 events.

. Provide resources and training to foster young talent and develop skills across the sector through Unlimited Talent, forging new partnerships between disability and mainstream arts organisations.

· Unlimited International will support collaboration between the artists in the UK and other countries, showcase new work around the world, and promote a global debate amongst young people about disability rights.

· Unlimited will leave a lasting legacy of high quality new work, increased confidence and momentum in the sector.
