Artist's Resource Pack

Deaf and disabled people contact Shape all the time with questions about how to become artists, how to manage the business of being an artist and how to work in the arts.

This site aims to give you some of the answers to some of those questions. And if you need information in more detail, we can give you information about other organisations that can help. We have used feedback from disabled & deaf people to gather information from both mainstream and disability sources.

The content for this site has been created by a disabled consultant, Jo Verrent, (she used to be an artist herself), supported by a steering group of disabled artists.

If you want to get in contact with Shape to let us know what you think of the site – please do! Email us at info@shapearts.org.uk
