Creative United are inviting expressions of interest from Scotland-based contemporary makers, designers and craftspeople who would like to be considered for a place on the pilot programme for Made Possible – a new initiative developed in conjunction with, and supported by Creative Scotland.

Made Possible, based on the same model as Creative United’s successful Own Art scheme, is designed to support independent artists and makers to help increase their sales of work by offering customers the option to spread the cost of their purchase over 10 months with an interest free loan.

20 places are available on a 12-month pilot programme during 2023/24 to artists and makers based in Scotland who meet the following criteria:

• You are producing and selling contemporary art and craft in any media including painting, sculpture, photography, limited edition prints, craft, textiles, jewellery, fashion, furniture, glass, ceramics, and other works.
• You have annual business revenues over £30,000 and a dedicated business bank account.
• You can offer up to 12 hours of feedback time with the Creative United team across the 12-month period and are willing to have your business profile promoted as a case study throughout and post-pilot.
• The majority of your sales are generated from customers based in the UK.

If you are interested in being part of the Made Possible pilot programme, complete and submit the application form by midnight Mon 17 July 2023.
