Culture Company's Individual Artists' Award

CCA is pleased to share an opportunity for artists based in Northern Ireland: "Culture Company 2013 has announced a £200,000 fund to support individual artists based in Northern Ireland who wish to create projects as part of Derry~Londonderry’s City of Culture celebrations in 2013. The Individual Artists’ Scheme has been made possible by funds committed by DCAL to City of Culture 2013 and devised in response to consultations held with individual artists. The scheme aims to facilitate individual artists in undertaking new project art works which interpret, stimulate and emphasise the core themes of City of Culture - ‘Joyous Celebration’ and ‘Purposeful Enquiry’ - or tell a new story about Derry~Londonderry as a city in transition to a local, national and international audience. It is anticipated that individual awards will range up to £15,000 unless the selection panel considers there to be an exceptional case." The closing date for applications to the Individual Artists’ Award Fund is Friday, September 7th, 2012, at 4 pm. Please see Culture Company's website for details: www.cityofculture2013.com
