A new online system for submitting application forms and supporting material will be in place to facilitate applications.
There will be a second deadline for project awards in early autumn 2010 for activities occurring in 2011.
*Visual arts studio groups that have received funding under Annual Funding and Annual Programming Grant for 2010 and who have been specifically advised in writing that they should in future apply to the workspace/studio grant scheme are an exception. These organisations will be eligible to apply to the Visual Arts Project Award.
