The State Government is funding 13 artists with disabilities – and nine organisations – to help them pursue their creative endeavours, through the 2008 Richard Llewellyn Arts and Disability Trust.

Disability Minister Jay Weatherill announced the recipients of the grants today. Mr Weatherill said the trust was named in honour of the late Richard Llewellyn, who was a diligent supporter of the arts and advocated for universal access for people with disabilities across South Australia.

“The Trust combines Mr Llewellyn’s two passions – the arts and disability advocacy. It aims to encourage people with a disability and disability organisations to further their artistic interests and foster their creative talent,” Mr Weatherill said.

“People with a disability have a lot to contribute to every part of our community – including the arts – and these grants are an important part of supporting them.”

The Trust was established by the State Government two years ago, and this year $200,000 is being distributed between 22 individuals and organisations. This year, the 13 individuals to receive funding for projects ranging from theatre and visual arts to literature and music are:-
