To celebrate 30 years of Photoworks, we are partnering with MPB to launch R&D Seed Grants supporting artists to make work.
These £500 Seed Grants offer practitioners the opportunity to advance their practice or move forward a body of work. To be eligible to apply all applicants must complete three questions:
- Describe the current stage of your practice or project.
- What will you do with a Photoworks X MPB R&D Seed Grant?
- How will this grant support your work?
To apply, you must be:
- Over the age of 18 and based in the UK
- A working or aspiring artist who uses photography as a medium
The grant may be used for any expenses that support your art practice, directly or indirectly. This may include but is not limited to materials, equipment, production, research, or studio space. There are no post award obligations, but we welcome updates on how you have used the grant and may invite you to share your experience. Find our full list of Terms & Conditions here.
Applications will close on 27 March 2025, with the winners announced on 7 April 2025.
