SSW is part of Scotland’s Workshops, a network of 10 visual arts production facilities across the country and together we’re excited to share the Scotland’s Workshops Award. This award provides a Scotland based, emerging artist* with time, support and financial means to experiment and gain new skills through spending time at 2 of the 10 visual art production facilities across Scotland that make up Scotland’s Workshops.
The selected artist will receive a bursary of:
£2500 artists bursary
£1500 production bursary to cover tuition, technical assistance, materials and any additional production costs
£1000 to cover travel and accommodation
£500 towards access costs
The award will be fully supported by the host organisations.
The award will be flexible, with the recipient being able to spend time at 2 organisations, with the expectation that you would commit to 4 weeks of your time – these would not have to be consecutive weeks, and the time could be divided as you’d like between July 2025 and March 2026.
