Support available for artists and craft makers in Borders and Dumfries & Galloway through VACMA Scotland funding
Practising Visual Artists and Craft Makers across the Borders are invited to apply for grants of up to £1000 to support their creative and professional development, thanks to funding from The National Lottery through Creative Scotland in partnership with Live Borders Arts & Creativity, Dumfries & Galloway Council, DG Unlimited and Upland.
The Visual Artist and Craft Maker Awards (VACMA) fund 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.
The programme offers a newly enhanced £1000 bursary for artists and makers who have been practising for over 5 years, as well as a £500 early-career bursary for artists and makers that have been practising for less than 5 years.
Bursaries of £500 and £1000 now available
