Creative Scotland has launched three funding programmes, designed to provide further support to sustain the country’s creative community during the COVID-19 outbreak.
- The Creative Scotland Bridging Bursary Fund, to help sustain creative practice by freelance creative professionals who have lost earnings due to the cancellation of work as a result of coronavirus
- The Screen Scotland Bridging Bursary Fund will provide similar one-off bursary support to self-employed screen sector workers
- The Open Fund: Sustaining Creative Development will provide support for individuals and organisations to sustain their creative development in the coming months.
The Creative Scotland and Screen Scotland Bridging Bursaries will aim to support those most in need, and particularly those who are least likely to benefit from the Job Retention Scheme and Self Employment Income Support Scheme.
