A guide to getting started as an artist, making connections, specific support to be found in the sector and access support.
In this guide commissioned by Visual Arts South West I cover; getting started as an artist; making connections locally in the South West and further afield; specific support to be found in the sector for chronically ill, d/Deaf, disabled, neurodivergent, mad and/or sick artists; what kind of access support can be found when applying for funding and jobs; access riders; and some further reading and artists to explore.
The text is approximately 28 minutes reading time as someone who reads at a medium pace with a slight information processing delay, and without clicking on any links.
Where possible I have tried to clarify what kind of media each link will lead to. There is an audio version avialable too with a pdf of the links.
