The Arts Council, in collaboration with Future Screens NI, has announced funding of £85,688 to support nine individual artists from Northern Ireland in the creation of a number of high-quality arts projects using innovative digital technologies.
The funding is part of the Arts Council’s Individual Artists Digital Evolution Awards, a brand new funding programme supported by The National Lottery and Future Screens NI, which offered artists, across all art forms, the opportunity to apply for grants of up to £10,000 each. In addition to the funding support, recipients will also receive expert technical guidance throughout the development of their digital artwork. The Awards support those artists who are making digital art for the first time or are working with digital orimmersive technology in a novel or innovative way.
