immersive arts funding

Immersive Arts is a funding and support programme for UK-based artists, designed to help them develop their art by using immersive technologies. Artists at all levels of experience are invited to apply, to explore, experiment or expand how they work with this exciting field of practice.

You don’t have to be tech-savvy (though you can be) to apply. All you need is a curious mind and a creative practice. Essentially, it’s about breaking down barriers, making what can be an exclusive field of practice, much more accessible to all.

Are you an artist with a curious mind who’d like to push the limits of your practice? We hope that’s why you’re reading this, and why you will apply.

You could use the funding for:

• planning, researching and developing, or delivering, a new immersive arts project
• attending residencies, relevant events and workshops
• accessing training and other forms of support
• buying materials, software licences and other technical tools
• paying artists, technologists and other collaborators
• hiring studio, rehearsal, exhibition or event spaces
• researching and integrating accessibility options for audiences’ access needs
• making audience testing or exhibitions more accessible, diverse and inclusive (by, for eg, paying for BSL interpreters, accessible formats, captioning, etc)
• marketing your project and developing your audience (Expand and Experiment only)
