Guidelines for submission


We want to showcase high quality disabled and deaf-led work. If you are interested in this opportunity to promote your work we would love to hear from you.

You are invited to include a short biography (up to 125 words) and any contact details that you would like to appear on the site. Please also include any additional information about the work such as titles.

Visual artists: Please send up to 6 digital images as high resolution jpg files, ideally between 200k - 2Mb each as we may also use them in our printed publicity material, either via email (max 2Mb per email) or on a disc.

Writers: please send us an example of your work that is up to 500 words.

Performance pieces: For the time being, please send us stills as per the instructions for visual artists. We are working on how to incorporate multimedia such as film and audio clips and hope to have this facility on the site in the future.

All artwork should be sent to admin@kaleidoarts.org

We cannot guarantee publication and there is no payment for publication of the work.


How do we assess Artistic Quality?


Artistic quality is central to our responsibility as an Arts Council funded organisation and our role as an arts development agency. Everyone experiences artistic work in their own way, and everyone’s experience is valid. However, this can also make artistic quality difficult to talk about and define.


Our approach is to consider 3 things:

  • idea - the concept or artistic impetus behind the work and it's context within disability arts. If you are unsure about the definition of disability art please click here for more information.
  • practice - the effectiveness of how the work is put into practice and the impact it has on those experiencing it
  • development - the contribution the work makes to the development of the artist, the artform and the arts more widely

This approach gives us a framework for describing artistic quality.


Kaleido has a panel of deaf and disabled professional artists as board members who assist staff in the assessment of artist's work.
