Youth Arts Open Fund
Created: 07/08/2024
News/Events Category: Funding and Finance
This item will show under the following categories: Children and Families
The purpose of the Youth Arts Open Fund is to support freelance artists or organisations seeking small amounts of funding so that they can deliver arts activity for children and young people – primarily those who have traditionally found it hardest to access such opportunities.
Funded projects are expected to engage children and young people in high-quality and accessible arts activity that empowers them through self-expression, enhances their mental health and wellbeing and that builds their confidence and skills.
Freelance artists can apply for funding up to £8,000 and organisations can apply for funding of up to £15,000 to deliver up to 12 months of arts activity.
Who can apply
Awards from the fund will be made to freelance artists or to creative, third sector, or youth work organisations. Applicants must be based in Scotland, experienced in working with children and young people and supporting the delivery of free community-based arts activities for children and young people living in Scotland. Organisations currently in receipt of Creative Scotland funding for projects with and for children and young people must demonstrate how the proposed activity is additional to your existing funding agreement and how the activity enhances current and future plans. This fund is not open to private/commercial businesses.
