FLOW Artist Development: Micro Bursary aims to lay the foundations for an increase in the making of artistic work for/by/with children and young people.
The FLOW Artist Development Micro Bursary will provide seed funding for artists/creative practitioners to develop their practice through self-determined professional development activity that responds to their interests around child-centred art making practices.
We encourage applications from artists working in all arts disciplines that reflect innovative and ambitious thinking in the making of artistic work for/by/with children. Artists will be encouraged to work with researchers and academics to underpin their work to theory inspired by the emerging themes of FLOW Children’s Biennial:
Children + Artists and the Flow State | Play + Creativity | Children as designers/makers

Cohort session meet: Monday 8th August at 4.30pm

Eligibility
Bursaries are available to artists/creative practitioners from the West Midlands. Applications must be provided in English. Applications are accepted from a range of arts practices, including: drawing, painting, theatre sculpture, illustration, dance, printmaking, music, digital, photography, film, video, applied art, live art, design and social art practice. Please message to enquire if you are unsure whether you are eligible.
Funds can be used towards the production of new works, costs associated with research and development, a ‘go see’ budget and paid time for research. We are interested to know how your findings could support the development of a future children’s biennial. It is a requirement of the Micro bursary that practitioners share their reflections through a short written report or a creative response.
