The Atypical Generation Fund is now open, offering £1000 grants to 20 artists in Northern Ireland who identify as D/deaf, disabled or neurodivergent. Open to artists of all disciplines, with funding available for space hire, mentoring, materials, training, or dedicated time to focus on creative work.

 

Applications are particularly encouraged from artists who are learning disabled, as this group of artists has been less represented in previous rounds.

 

The University of Atypical will be hosting several information sessions for those who wish to apply to the fund:

In-person information session: Tuesday 17 February 2026 from 2:30 to 4:00 pm
