About this event
Unlimited and City of Culture are pleased to be hosting specific information surgeries for d/Deaf, disabled and neurodivergent artists based in Coventry, Warwickshire and the wider West Midlands region.
These sessions are a chance to learn more about the Coventry Emerging Artist Awards. City of Culture are supporting 3 Coventry artist awards, available for up to £10,000 each, through the Unlimited Commissioning programme.
This is a great opportunity to find out more and ask any questions you have about applying for an Unlimited Commission award as well as speak with other artists and organisations.
