We are excited to meet the talented new cohort of artists joining Graeae’s Bespoke Artist Development Programme for 2024!

The Beyond Programme plays a crucial role in creating greater access to regional opportunities across England, ensuring that Deaf, Disabled, and neurodivergent artists are at the forefront of emerging work. Since 2020, it has already supported 67 Deaf, Disabled, and neurodivergent artists on their artistic journeys.
