Cripping Culture Community Call Out
Disability Arts Online (DAO)
Disability Arts Online (DAO) has launched an open call for contributions for national project Cripping Culture: A Journey into Disability Arts Heritage DAO would like to hear about the most significant disability arts projects and events that you’ve been involved in or experienced. We want to know how they contributed to both your life and the Disability Arts movement. These will play an important part in the stories told through the Cripping Culture project, saving our heritage for future generations. Your contribution could be about an event, show or exhibition you attended, something you read, an artist you met, an organisation you were involved with or anything else related to disability arts. This could be submitted in text, video, audio or photo format. All contributions will be reviewed and used to inform our research for the project. They may also be used as part of our interactive digital timeline. If this is the case, we will be in touch to discuss your submission further. You might be an artist, writer, producer, performer, curator, musician, activist or audience member. It doesn’t matter who you are, as long as you have a story to tell that involves disability arts in the UK. It is important that we capture stories and events from all regions of the UK that may previously have been missed to celebrate the vast breadth of disability arts activity that has occurred across time. We are especially keen to hear from people who are part of the global majority, have intersectional experiences of disability, and/or can tell stories from regions that are currently underrepresented in collections or narratives.

Bespoke SME support packages
Genoa Black
Genoa Black is a business consultancy and marketing agency supporting SMEs across Scotland and internationally. For over 12 years, we have designed and delivered growth-focused programmes including Marketing Expert Support, Digital Boost, the International Selling Programme, Lanarkshire Business Gateway Business Support, and the Glasgow Business Growth Framework. To date, we have delivered 1,000+ consultancy assignments for Scottish SMEs and continue to work closely with both public-sector organisations and private clients. We operate across a wide range of sectors, including life sciences, energy, renewables, manufacturing, technology, professional services, education, hospitality, and more, giving us a detailed understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing Scottish SMEs. Over the past few years, we have seen a significant reduction in funded support available to SMEs. While provision has narrowed to largely generic educational offerings, the demand for specialised, tailored support has grown, particularly given current economic pressures and an increasingly complex political landscape. We believe this has created a clear gap in the ecosystem, one that needs flexible, expert support that can adapt to fast-growing and high-potential businesses, such as as start-ups, spin-outs and scale-ups. If you are interested in this for your organisation, please click on the link below to find out more about our bespoke packages. We would also be delighted to present our offering in more detail or develop more tailored packages aligned to your organisation’s needs.
