Developing your Creative Practice Fund
Provided by Arts Council England, Developing your Creative Practice is a fund designed to support independent creative practitioners to ensure excellence is thriving in England’s arts and culture sector. The fund is intended to create more pathways for individuals, from a range of creative practices and backgrounds.
It will allow creative practitioners the time and space to undertake ambitious research and development, helping to make a step-change in their practice. Individuals can apply for between £2,000 and £12,000, to take a dedicated period of time to focus on their own creative development and propel them to the next stage in their practice. Applications are welcomed from practitioners who have identified a clear development opportunity. This could be a period of research, time to create new work, experimenting with new collaborators, international travel to explore other practice or work with mentors, and professional development activities.
Applicants must apply as an individual, or as a small group of practitioners who usually collaborate in their work.
