Argyll artists and craft makers are invited to apply for grants to support their creative and professional development.
Closing date: 4 Feb 2025
The Visual Artist and Craft Makers Awards (VACMA) offer small grants to visual artists and craft makers for their creative development at all stages of their careers. This includes activities such as mentoring and skills development, testing new ideas, experimenting with sustainable and renewable materials, purchasing necessary equipment, and residencies tailored to the artist’s creative and professional development.
Established by Creative Scotland, these partnerships provide support at a local level and work with local panels to offer funds to practitioners at all stages of their careers who have demonstrated a commitment to their work and to developing their practice through new work, new skills, or new opportunities.
Two levels of bursaries are available:
-£500 Early-Career Bursary is open to artists and makers who have been practising for less than 5 years.
-£1,000 Bursary is open to artists and makers who have been practising for over 5 years, regardless of whether they have received formal education.
