Deadline: 7 July 2024
The British Council Scotland and Creative Scotland have launched a funding opportunity to support Scottish-based arts professionals to travel to France.
The fund has been developed through the ongoing strategic partnership between the British Council and Creative Scotland, which is based on a shared belief that working together on shared priorities enhances opportunities to place Scottish arts and culture on a world stage, and provide an international context to, and benefit, for Scotland.
These grants also contribute to activity within the programme of the UK/France Spotlight on Culture 2024, to make or strengthen new connections, develop networks, and undertake research and development of future collaborative projects with French partners
With France in the spotlight as hosts of the Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games 2024, and the Cultural Olympiad linking sports to the arts, the UK/France Spotlight on Culture aims to support collaboration with counterparts across the country to revitalise Franco-British cultural dialogue and exchange through creativity, innovation, and artistic practice.
What this fund is for?
- This fund is intended for applicants who can demonstrate a strategic purpose to their trip, potentially linked to existing connections or planned research within France. This is not a speculative opportunity, but one that is designed to foster nascent connections through self-organised travel.
Funding Information
- They anticipate making 10-15 awards of up to £3,000 each (not including additional access costs) and they will seek to provide a level of award that means that cost will not be a barrier to anybody who would like to take up this opportunity.
Eligibility Criteria
- Applicants must be based in Scotland.
- Applicants must have an existing practice and experience working internationally.
