We will encourage development and diversification of the creative sector in Shetland
...working with delivery partners to derive economic opportunities from creative practice, and supporting those looking to turn their creative ideas into sustainable businesses.
The Council continues to provide annual support to Shetland Arts Development Agency towards the Visual Arts and Crafts Makers Award scheme. Co-funded by Creative Scotland, the scheme invites applications from artists and makers for bursaries of £500 (for emerging artists and recent graduates) or £750 (for established artists) towards their creative and professional development.
