A fund offering awards of up to £2000 to creative practitioners living in the Scottish Borders.

The main aim of Creative Arts Business Network (CABN) is to develop the professional creative sector in the Scottish Borders through a diverse programme of support, and to seek to strengthen the sector by working towards longer term strategic goals.

This fund has been created in response to emerging and established creative practitioners in the Borders calling for broader art-form support and access to funding opportunities.

The CABN Small Grants Fund supports emerging and established, professional creative practitioners living in the Scottish Borders with funding for creative project development, research or training in any artform.

They welcome applications from both emerging and established creative practitioners working in, but not limited to: music, film, dance, performing arts, theatre, visual theatre, puppetry, animation, drawing, painting, installation, social or participatory practice, sculpture, textiles, cross-artform collaborations and photography.

Projects can be focused on:
– Creating work or project development
– Skills development or training

Closing date for applications is 31 March 2025.
