The Arts Council and Arts & Disability Ireland are delighted to have opened applications for the Arts and Disability Connect awards scheme Opportunity Two 2023.

Opportunity Two, offering New Work and Research and Reflection awards, opens on Monday 14 August, with a deadline of Tuesday 10 October at 4pm.

There are four different strands within the scheme: Mentoring, Training, New Work, and Research and Reflection (previously known as Research and Development).

In 2023, these four strands are split across two opportunities:

The first opportunity, which closed in early June, included Mentoring and Training awards.

This second opportunity includes New Work or Research and Reflection awards (previously known as Research and Development).

The Arts and Disability Connect scheme is designed to support individual artists with disabilities to be ambitious, to develop their practice and to connect with arts organisations and arts professionals in Ireland.
