Crafts Awards in partnership

A number of local authorities and development agencies operate regional schemes for crafts makers and visual artists across Scotland in partnership with the Scottish Arts Council.  These grants normally range from £75 - £1,000.  

Please note that you may apply either to the Scottish Arts Council or local authority for your project – you cannot apply to both simultaneously for the same project.

For further information please download the Visual Arts and Crafts Awards Information Sheet.
