Immersive Arts Lunchtime Talk

In this Lunchtime Talk, Ruth McCullough, Executive Producer, and Michelle Rumney, Producer for England, share some key learnings from the first Immersive Arts funding round.

They reflect on the types of projects and technologies that emerged, some of the common themes and challenges applicants faced, and what helped certain applications stand out. They also offer practical advice for artists thinking about applying in the final round of funding, read the First Round Commentary.

They hope this is useful for those who applied to Immersive Arts in the first round, as well as anyone considering an application in the future. The next round of Immersive Arts funding is now open and close on Monday 29 September 2025.

This event will be livestreamed on Watershed’s YouTube
