Applications close Sunday 8 February 2026 at 11pm AEDT
Resulting from an extensive disability-led co-design process, the Songsmiths program provides a new collective space for d/Deaf and disabled artists to collaborate and create music, with a focus on self-determination, mentorship and creative access.
Up to twelve (12) people will be selected for this paid opportunity, which aims to initiate fruitful creative connections between d/Deaf and disabled songwriters in order to strengthen craft, build resilience and increase industry knowledge.
NSW Songwriters at all career stages with disability or who are d/Deaf are encouraged to apply.
