Deadline: 30-Aug-22
Applications are now open for the Support for Individual Artists Programme (SIAP) to support artists across all disciplines to create work and develop their practice. Broadly, awards can be for specific projects, specialised research or personal artistic development.
The programme will support early stage international development opportunities for individual, freelance and self-employed artists and organisations based in Northern Ireland. It will afford recipients the opportunity to spend time building links with artists, organisations and/or creative producers in another country.
Funding Information
Artists and organisations are able to apply for small grants from £1,000 to £7,000.
Your proposal can be in any of the following artforms
What activity can you apply for?
Artists can use the fund to do one or all of the following:
- Develop their artistic practice through working internationally
- Collaborate with and learn from artists internationally
- Create early relationships with artists and/or creative producers with a longer term view of developing international markets and audiences for their work in another country and building their profile internationally
- Artistic Residencies
Eligibility Criteria
-
The programme is open to artists & organisations in any artform
- who have received recognition for their work in Northern Ireland;
- who do not have extensive international experience;
- whose work will benefit from launching better international networks – either artistically or in terms of developing an audience for their work; and,
- who can demonstrate an interest in their work from an overseas partner/host.
- Individual artists, including creative producers, curators and editors, can apply.
- Although the Artists' International Development Fund is aimed primarily at individual artists, arts organisations who wish to take small scale work abroad can apply as can small groups of artists who normally collaborate in their work. This could include, for example, musicians and visual artists who usually create work together, or writers and their translators. If the group does not have a shared bank account, awards to successful applicants would be made to the lead artist named on the application form.
Ineligible
- Anyone under the age of 18 at the time of application
- Students, for projects related to their course of study or their tuition fees
- Individuals based (living) outside Northern Ireland
- Small groups who cannot demonstrate that they have a history of working collaboratively.
- Applicants who have already received an award, within the previous 12 months, under the scheme to which they are applying. This 12 month period runs from the date of the previous award letter
- Applicants who have broken the conditions of any previous award within the previous 4 years
