Thats possibly the longest heading I have typed yet. I have been asked to highlight two award schemes that are available to Dundee based creatives from the City Council and I am trying to fit them neatly into one post.

The first is the long established Dundee Visual Artists award which has been running rather successfully since 2000 and has, to date, funded over 100 artists with grants of £1000 to develop new work.

The Second is the new Craft Makers Award which aims to support creative and professional development for craft makers and is being piloted by the City Council this year.

I can’t find a website for this award but there is a handy PDF which you can download for more info.
