Spectrum Art Award 2022

The Spectrum Art Award is a national competition, created to celebrate the creative excellence of artists on the autistic spectrum. It is open to all UK adults over the age of 18 who identify as being on the autistic spectrum and for work in any medium. Submission is free.

The Award is now open for submissions until 31st July 2021. The award will recognise the achievements of 5 selected finalists equally; each finalist will win £5,000 and an opportunity to have their work exhibited and advanced in its most suitable form. All five will also receive invaluable professional mentoring, curatorial and PR support.

BEYOND

Film and Video Umbrella have just launched our BEYOND commission. This rolling call for entries is looking for new moving image works that are made with minimal equipment, crew, and space. At present, due to the current situation with COVID-19, selected artists will have to adhere to UK government guidelines. This opportunity is open to all artists currently based in the UK. The selected artists will receive a £2,500 fee/budget, as well as remote production and curatorial support, across a two-month period. The final works will be streamed on FVU’s website and digital channels.

First round submission deadline: 18 May 2020. 

APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN.
