Creative Bursary Scheme 2023/2024: Support for creative individuals.
Belfast City Council is awarding a £10,000 bursary to 13 creative practitioners in any art form. Three of these bursaries will be offered to creative practitioners working in or identifying with these areas:
- traditional Irish
- a minority ethnic background
- LGBTQIA+
The closing date for applications is 12 noon on Thursday 16 March 2023.
The bursary scheme is flexible and will be responsive to the needs and ambitions of each winner to allow for innovation and experimentation. A bursary is not for a specific project or output but will focus on career development and mentorship.
