Are you an artist with a curious mind who’d like to push the limits of your practice? We hope that’s why you’re reading this, and why you will apply.

You could use the funding for:

or delivering, a new immersive arts project
• attending residencies, relevant events and workshops
• accessing training and other forms of support
• buying materials, software licences
and other technical tools
• paying artists, technologists and other collaborators
• hiring studio, rehearsal, exhibition or event spaces
• researching and integrating accessibility options
for audiences’ access needs
• making audience testing or exhibitions more accessible, diverse and inclusive (by, for eg, paying for BSL interpreters, accessible formats, captioning, etc).
• marketing your project and developing your audience (Expand and Experiment only)
