CRIPtic Arts Artist Development Programmes 2026

CRIPtic Arts


Closing: 13th March 2026

CRIPtic Arts announces four disabled-led artist development programmes for 2026: Reach (emerging writers), Launchpad (fresh theatre makers), Breakthrough (experienced creatives), and Incubate (cultural leaders). These programmes nurture disabled creatives’ practice, supporting disabled people to tell big stories beyond trauma narratives – making space for the broad, divergent, fictional, historical, political, and fantastical work dealing with big themes and questions, whether or not mentioning disability.
