Deaf Visual Artists: an opportunity to showcase your work at Deaffest 2024 on Saturday the 11th of May!
Deaffest’s Stalls Fair will be returning to Wolverhampton, UK, at a different venue; the Rosalind Franklin (MB) Building at the University of Wolverhampton.
Visual Artists can apply for a stall with a freestanding project board (located behind the stall). This is a fantastic opportunity to display and sell your artistic work!

If you have already applied for a stall and want to add a project board, please contact: deaffeststalls@zebra-access.com.
