Artists’ Bursaries programme – Creative Scotland

5th June 2013

The purpose of the new Artists’ Bursaries programme is to provide artists and other creative professionals time and resources to develop their practice. Open to individuals at any stage in their career, these fixed bursaries will be for artists able to demonstrate a high level of quality, imagination and ambition in their work. Applications are initially assessed by Creative Scotland staff before going to an independent Bursaries Panel who will agree the final awards. This process of peer review is designed to provide Creative Scotland with a range of expert opinion to inform decisions.
