🎨 Calling all young disabled artists! Applications for 2027 are NOW OPEN!

Business-development workshops
Networking opportunities
Professional mentorship
Support for creative career goals

Disability can include a wide range of lived experiences, including physical, sensory, chronic illness/pain, and neurodivergence.
