The final round of 2024/2025 is now open. Run in partnership with Creative Scotland, VACMA bursaries are available for individual artists and makers, based or resident in Aberdeen.
Closing date: 4 Feb 2025
The purpose of these bursaries is to support visual artists and craft makers in their creative and professional development. The VACMA scheme offers two levels of support:
Bursaries of £1,000 (For applicants that have been practicing for over 5 years, regardless of whether they have gone through formal education or not).
Early-career bursaries of £500 (For applicants that have less than 5 years’ experience outside of education/training, graduated in 2019 or later, or that have not studied art formally but have been practising as an artist for up to 5 years).
In addition, requests for support towards Personal Access Costs will be considered. Personal Access Costs are treated separately to your bursary request, this is to ensure that applicants with access needs are able to use the full bursary for their planned activity.
