We want artists to pursue their interests independently and on their own terms. This might include funding opportunities to network, find new partners for collaboration, receive mentoring or take part in training, conferences and workshops. It supports the first stages of development of a new idea through research and development, experimenting, drafting or workshopping. It supports any combination of these, and anything else that the artist believes will help them learn, grow and take control of the development of their artistic practice and career, and/or help kick start the creation of new work where an outcome is unknown.
