Applications are open for the Visual Artist and Craft Maker Awards Scheme 2018-2019.
The Visual Artist and Craft Maker Awards (VACMA) provide an important opportunity for the development of contemporary art and craft practice at a local level. The VACMA programme has been developed by Creative Scotland in collaboration with local partners over several years and it now reaches artists and craft makers in 21 local authorities across Scotland.
In Dumfries and Galloway, the scheme is operated by Dumfries and Galloway Council, Live Borders, DG Unlimited and Upland, in partnership with Creative Scotland. Applications are welcomed from individual artists and makers living and working in the Scottish Borders or Dumfries and Galloway.
Artists and makers can apply for awards towards the cost of the development of their creative practice. Applicants to the scheme can be in the early stages of their practice or already be established, but they should be able to demonstrate a commitment to their work and to its development.
The deadline for the first round is 5pm on October 2nd, 2018.
The deadline for the second round is 5pm on 5th February, 2019.
If there are funds remaining after round 2, a third deadline for applications will be announced.
