If you are self-employed/freelance artist or creative practitioner, or a sole trader, then you may be eligible to make an application to the Open Fund for Individuals, assuming you also meet our other eligibility criteria as detailed in the Guidance for Applicants.

If you have an organisational structure (such as a partnership, a company limited by guarantee, a charity, a SCIO or CIC) then you are not eligible to make an application to this fund. We recommend you look at the information available on our website about other Funding Programmes currently accepting applications, including the Open Fund for Organisations.
