Through its portfolio of cultural project grants, the Culture and Sport Unit provides support to a wide variety of cultural events and activities in Edinburgh. Current opportunities:
Visual Arts Awards: Edinburgh and Craft Maker Awards: Edinburgh,
In partnership with the Scottish Arts Council
In order to advance the City of Edinburgh Council Cultural Policy, the Scottish Arts Council and the City of Edinburgh Culture and Sport Unit established a scheme of funding that addresses current gaps in resources available to individual artists and makers. Formerly known as the Edinburgh Visual Arts and Crafts Award (EVAAC), the scheme has now been divided into 2 separate funds – the Visual Arts Awards: Edinburgh and the Craft Maker Awards: Edinburgh.
The schemes offer awards to individual artists and makers based or resident in Edinburgh towards costs involved in developing new work. Awards up to a maximum value of £1,000 are available (minimum award £100). Applicants are encouraged to request the appropriate funds required for their project, and will not automatically be awarded the maximum grant available. The 2009/10 programme supported the work of 21 individuals through awards totalling £13,000.
Applications are now available for the first round of 2010/11 funding - deadline Thursday 2 September 2010. If you would like to discuss a potential project or request an application package, please contact the Arts Development team on 0131 529 6720.
