MADE for YOU – Moray Creative Bursaries

MADE for YOU is a creative bursary scheme for artists and practitioners living in Moray. These awards are supported by the Creative Scotland Open Fund, facilitated by MADE in their commitment to supporting creative and cultural individuals in the region. The bursaries are open to individuals that identify as creatives, artists, makers and/or practitioners who can demonstrate a commitment to developing their practice.

MADE for YOU offers fixed bursaries of between £500 and £1,500. The purpose of these bursaries is to support creatives, artists, makers and/or practitioners in their creative and professional development. This encompasses all disciplines and art forms that fall within the context of the ‘creative and cultural’ realm – we are understanding that to include performance, theatre, craft, curation, dance, design, digital, film, heritage, media, museums, music, visual art and writing.
