Visual Artists and Craft Makers across the country are invited to apply for bursaries of £500 - £1000 for their creative development.
VACMA offers fixed bursaries of £500 and £1,000. You should apply for the level of bursary that best suits your circumstances.
£1,000 Bursary is for artists and makers who have been practicing for over 5 years, regardless of whether they have gone through formal education or not.
£500 Early-Career Bursary is for artists and makers that have been
practicing for less than 5 years. This includes recent graduates (2019
or later) and those that have not studied art formally but have been
practising as an artist or maker for up to 5 years.
Funded by The National Lottery through Creative Scotland in partnership with a range of local authorities and arts agencies across Scotland, the Visual Artist and Craft Maker Awards (VACMA) will support artists at all stages of their career to develop their creative practice. This can include researching a new body of work, experimenting with new materials, attending courses, artistic mentoring, masterclasses and residencies, among other activities.
