1. Australian citizens who live in Australia:
"Arts Access Australia’s new National Leadership Award will recognise and support new and emerging leaders in the arts and disability sector." One disabled artist (or arts-worker) will receive $10,000 to cover expenses for professional/leadership development. Find out more by clicking here. I can't find an application fee requirement. The deadline is November 4th.
2. "Launched in April 2017, Awesome Disability is an independent chapter of the Awesome Foundation, a global community that provides micro-grants with no strings attached." Applications accepted between the first and fifteenth of every month. Selected groups and individuals with awesome projects can receive $1,000. No fee to apply. Click here for the website. The grant can't be used for utilities, home repairs, rent, etc.
3. Fellowship for nonfiction writers writing about mental illness (requires a $35 application fee):
"The Writers’ Colony at Dairy Hollow is offering a fellowship to a writer working on a short or long work of non-fiction focusing on how they (the writer or another) have managed, and continue to manage, their mental illness." The deadline for 2019 was September 30th, but they plan on bringing it back next year. Meals and a two-week stay are covered, but it doesn't seem like travel is included (the colony is in Arkansas). Click here for more information.
4. Application fee (may be waived due to financial hardship):
MacDowell Colony Fellowships are open to artists in many disciplines. They offer stipends and travel grants to fellows who have financial need. It's one of the few colonies accessible for artists with physical disabilities. The next application deadline is January 15th. The link to their application page is here.
5. Chicago artists:
3Arts Residency Fellowships "are accessible and open to artists in dance, music, teaching arts, theater, and visual arts." Any out-of-town residencies for disabled artists will support housing and travel for personal assistants. Their fellowship recipients were already announced, so check back next year. They list fellowships for various places locally and abroad. I'm not sure if there are fees. Find out more here.
