Arts and Disability Network Australia (ADNA) are developing initiatives that provide opportunities for d/Deaf and disabled creatives to thrive. From conception to delivery, d/Deaf and disabled artists, arts workers and screen practitioners will take central roles in all ADNA thinking and work.
ADNA are looking for visual artists and photographers to submit work for the following paid opportunities:
Postcard Commission:
A $750 commission for a visual artwork representing ADNA’s values of Being, Belonging and Becoming, to feature on their first national postcard.
Submissions close: Friday 19 December 2025, 10am AEDT.
Photography Commission:
A national call for photographs capturing the richness of disability arts and culture. Ten works will be selected, each receiving $250.
Submissions close: Friday 19 December 2025, 10am AEDT.
These opportunities embody the ADNA commissioning principles of “No Decision About Us Without Us,” ensuring that every creative decision is led by those with lived experience.
