Unlimited
Celebrating Arts, Culture and Sport by Disabled and Deaf People |
Unlimited is a new UK-wide disability arts commissioning fund being run as part of the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad.
• The process of applying is being operated by Arts Council England on behalf of the other Arts Councils – however this is a UK-wide fund and all of the arts councils are involved in the decision-making process.
• This fund is to commission new work that is artistically led by disabled people.
• Applications for projects of between £25,000 and £50,000 are being actively encouraged.
Applications are through Arts Council England’s ‘Grants for the arts’ system – this is an online process. To find out more about the fund please visit the Arts Council England website.
If you have any queries, please email Robert Gale, Equalities Officer (Arts and Disability) at the Scottish Arts Council.

 Professional Development
|
We support individual artists in most artforms(*see foot of page) to undertake professional development activities relevant to their artistic practice. We also support arts practitioners working at a professional level within the arts in Scotland, and their role in the development of the sector. Support can be given for:
- short-term or one off training courses, workshops, conferences, masterclasses and mentoring.
- travel to see work, undertake research and establish contacts.
- other professional development activities specific to particular artforms. Please see Guidelines for further information.
Level of Grants: £75 - £2,000

We regret that we are currently unable to accept applications to our Fast Track funds for activity taking place on or after 1 April 2010. |
Applications accepted at any time up to 26 February 2010, but must be submitted at least 4 weeks before the project start date. |
= Fast-track (applications accepted throughout the year)
* Please note the Professional Development fund is not available to:
- Individual Visual Artists or Curators, who should apply for Visual Arts Creative and Professional Development funding.
- Representatives of Visual Arts organisations - we will offer support mainly through managed Visual Arts Professional Development programmes, rather than through an application process. This is likely to include Professional Development study days and seminars, and details will be published on our Visual Arts Notices page as they become available.
