At FABRIC we strive to make our artist residencies accessible and inclusive, and to create working conditions that centre the care and dignity of all.

We want to reduce any barriers that this opportunity may present to you and are open and willing to learn.

Support workers and/or access equipment/technology are intended to be funded via Access to Work* funding if relevant to you.

For application processes, we can offer up to £150 per artist for access costs. This includes support workers to help you create an application if they are not already available to you through Access to Work.

If you are invited to undertake a residency, we will work with you to understand your access needs in more depth, to agree what access support (over and above the project offer/finances) can be provided to support delivery of your project.

We will not ask for proof of disability and/or long-term health conditions.

Please email artists@fabric.dance to request support. In your email, briefly tell us the current barriers to applying for this opportunity, the amount you are requesting (up to £150) and how it will reduce them.
