CRIPtic Arts Artist Development Programme 2026

Author: CRIPtic Arts

CRIPtic Arts is incredibly excited to announce the re-launch of our disabled-led artist development programmes for 2026.

Nurturing the practice and work of disabled creatives is integral to us. When we talk about disabled people, we mean“people who face disableist [including audist] barriers”, or “people who identify themselves as deaf or disabled – or are identified by others as deaf or disabled in society”. To find out more about what we mean by this, please see our FAQs.

In 2026, we’re once again running four artist development projects designed for emerging writers, fresh theatre makers, experienced creatives, and cultural leaders: Reach, Launchpad, Breakthrough and Incubate.

Applications are open from now until Friday 13 March at 5pm. We can’t wait to connect, read your applications and find our 2026 cohort!
