The second round of Aberdeen City Council's Creative Funding Awards for 2017 is now open.

Creative Funding gives cultural organisations, community groups, charities and individual artists the opportunity to apply for awards of up to £15,000 to deliver creative activity in the city.

Previous years have seen awards for festivals, community groups, brand new arts organisations and support for projects run by individual artists and established organisations.

A range of projects can be considered such as performances, exhibitions, networking events or even something completely new and innovative; there are few limitations on the type of project that can be supported.

In 2016 alone, Aberdeen City Council Creative Funding supported 56 different projects across the city involving over 1000 volunteers, 10,000 participants and 500,000 audience members.

The second round of funding is now open, with a deadline of  Sunday 30 July. Applicants will be notified of the outcome on Friday 8 September.

Organisations, charities and community groups can apply for up to £15,000 while individuals are able to apply for up to £2,000 for the delivery of activity, projects or artistic development.

Application forms and guidelines for Creative Funding are available here.

Aberdeen City Council are also hosting an advice surgery for those interested in applying for Creative Funding but who have some questions or require some support in the application process.
