support for individual artists programme (siap)
The Support for Individual Artists Programme (SIAP) is a range of schemes which aim to support artists across all disciplines to create work and develop their practice
The Project Funding for Individuals scheme aims to support the wide range of activity that can be undertaken by artists of all disciplines in relation to their practice, and to enable innovation and experimentation. A “project” and its associated costs can be any activity that develops and supports your creative practice.
Project proposals could, for example, be any of the activities below - or a combination of them:
Create new work
Support an individual’s time where this is related to specific creative outcomes
Research and development time to explore practice or develop work
Facilitation of innovation and experimentation
Participate in a residency
Receive mentoring or training
Professional development activities to improve skills or techniques related to your practice
