Growing Ambition​

Growing Ambition

Creatives Unlimited seeks to stimulate artistic ambition by supporting our artists and arts organisations to take artistic risks or to interrogate how they currently do things. 

​
Bright Sparks 
The Bright Sparks fund aims to support creative practitioners to take creative risks in the pursuit of furthering their creative practice and to fill people with energy and enthusiasm to experience the arts in Dumfries and Galloway. Glass artist Amanda Simmons, musician Stuart MacPherson and playwright Carolyn Yates are the first recipients of a Bright Sparks award and were selected from a strong field of other very talented artists who submitted high quality applications. 


Innovate Cultivate Create  
This fund is a quick and simple way for creative practitioners living and working in Dumfries and Galloway to apply for a small award of up to £750 to explore, develop and further their creative practice and professional development. (Visual artists and craft makers are signposted to Visual Artist and Craft Maker Awards)

Investment Ready
This part of the programme consists of three elements designed to transform the fundraising potential of Dumfries and Galloway’s creative sector.

Investment Ready Webinars and Workshops
providing practical advice on a range of topics such as evidencing your project’s impact, how to invigorate your fundraising story.
  • Presenting Your Story - How to express your core values, history, aspirations, and goals. 
  • Evidencing your impact - How to differentiate between Outputs/ Outcomes, an overview of various ways to measure impact and some essentials for incorporating them into reports for funders​.
​
Roadshow 
The DGU team will host funding advice sessions with partner organisations such as Third Sector Dumfries and Galloway and The Holywood Trust. 

Funding Roadshow events will recommence when social distancing rules allow them to take place safely.
