Jo Verrent

Through Unlimited, Verrent strives to get the work of disabled artists embedded within the UK arts sector through collaborations with partners including: Arts Council England, Creative Scotland, Southbank Centre, Spirit of 2012 and the British Council. Verrent has worked in the disability arts field for her entire career, and maintains she was spurred on by those at school who told her there was no point in trying to become an actress because she had a hearing impairment. Rather than allow such experiences to hold her back, Verrent has instead lived by her own mantra: ‘difference is delicious’.
