Applications are now open for Creative Wales Awards from ACW...

Creative Wales Awards are to support artists’ development and are made in all artforms. They’re intended to give space and time for an artist who’s already had career achievements, to undertake creative experimentation and research to inform their future practice, but not necessarily to deliver defined and predetermined outcomes.

A Creative Wales Award allows an individual artist’s vision to be explored, tested and reimagined without the need to create a �final’ performance or exhibition, but recipients will have shown how their exploration will make a contribution to the development of the arts in Wales. Creative Wales puts a premium on artists with innovative new approaches and understandings.

What grants are available?

Creative Wales Awards

These grants of up to £12,000 will support an intensive period of open-ended learning and research. This can include up to £2,000 towards a proposal-specific capital element.

Major Creative Wales Awards

These grants of £20,000 will support an intensive period of open-ended learning and research around significant artistic propositions. This can include up to £2,000 towards a proposal-specific capital element. For proposals that include a production element we’ll also consider awarding up to £5,000 towards production costs such as buying in technical expertise or other professional advice, paying other creative practitioners to work with you, or use of specialist facilities.

When is the deadline?

 The deadline for this year’s Creative Wales applications will be 12 noon on Friday 11th January 2013. More info available here...
