Arts & Disability Awards Ireland

“The Award opened up a whole new challenging and exciting chapter in my life…”

 

“The Award gave me so much to build upon as an artist but more importantly as a person.”

 

“I see the past year, because of the Award and the support from the Arts & Disability Forum as one of the most enriching years of my artistic life since leaving art college.”

 

“The Award meant that I didn’t have to compromise at any stage of the process.  The power and importance of that freedom as an artist cannot be over-estimated.”

 

“The Award gave me so much to build upon as an artist but more importantly as a person.  At every stage the Arts & Disability Forum gently and quietly encouraged me to believe that I could achieve regardless of disability both physical and mental.”
