As one of the UK’s largest international festivals of inclusive and disability arts, and the only one of its kind in Wales, Unity Festival 2026 presents a unique and vibrant lineup of high-quality theatre, dance, circus, drag and music from across the UK and Europe.

Previous programmes focused on members working in the screen industry but M4C is open to those working across theatre, live entertainment and music as well as screen.

CTC is designed to support creative practitioners, cultural professionals, artists, organisations, festivals, biennials, hubs and collectives, with projects spanning a broad range of themes and art forms.

The project aims to research and reveal the achievements of the disabled artists and activists who put disability rights on the map, from the late 1970s onwards.

This senior leadership role will shape the gallery’s vision, strategy and future as we establish ourselves as an independent Charitable Incorporated Organisation and open our newly redeveloped building.
