An Unlimited week...
Monday 8th March, 2010
Last week I was involved twice with Unlimited - the strand of the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad that will enable the UK to celebrate disability, arts, culture and sport on an unprecedented scale.
The programme has four pillars:
Unlimited Commissions: a £1.5million commission fund to support the production of quality work by disabled and Deaf artists, and disabled and Deaf led arts organisations
Unlimited Talent: bespoke training and mentoring programme for successful applicants to support the realisation of their commission
Unlimited Presents: work created through Unlimited Commissions will have the opportunity to be showcased in London and across the UK
Unlimited International: supporting collaboration between artists in the UK and other countries, and showcasing new work around the world. This pillar of the programme is being led by the British Council and is still in development, full details will be announced in June 2010
I was part of the selection panel for the first round of the commissions programme - not an easy job and then part of an interview panel for a placement to be part of putting the Unlimited programme together. Announcements are due for both of these soon - so watch this space!
