✨📢 Freelancer Attendance Bursaries Available! 📢 ✨
We know that freelance artists and cultural workers are often expected to attend sector events, talks and networking opportunities unpaid, and that time away from paid work can be a real barrier to participation. With this in mind, additional funding has recently been provided thanks to NHS Tayside Charitable Foundation to support freelancers to attend the upcoming Healing Arts Dundee morning event on Tuesday 16 June.
Healing Arts Dundee is being organised in partnership with That - Tayside Healthcare Arts Trust, Art Angel, University of Dundee and V&A Dundee, and will explore art and health across the lifespan through a series of short presentations and conversations.

We’re pleased to offer 8 attendance bursaries of £100 for freelance and independent practitioners with an interest in arts and health.
📆 Tuesday 16 June 2026
⌚ 10am – 1pm
📍 V&A Dundee
Speakers and contributors will include artists, charities, NHS staff, researchers and cultural workers working across arts and health contexts.
The bursary is intended to help offset freelance time and participation costs, particularly for those without organisational training or professional development support.
We particularly welcome applications from:
• freelance and independent practitioners based in Tayside
• artists and creative practitioners with an interest in arts and health
• early-career practitioners
• people without organisational support or training budgets
• people underrepresented within the cultural sector
Apply here in this short form which should take 3 – 5 mins to complete: https://forms.office.com/e/6tyELLAmBC
