The FIELDNOTES Development Grant Programme will support four emerging artists and writers for a six-month period during which they will receive editorial and financial support in order to develop new text-based work. The aim is to support risk taking, to enable experimentation and allow for new poetic methodologies to develop across genres and media. The programme will take place between July and December 2023, with the purpose of offering a critical incubation period for projects pioneering new forms at the intersection of creative disciplines.
Each participant will receive a grant of £750 to cover their materials and time. Each participant will be allocated a mentor from the FIELDNOTES editorial team. Contact time will amount to 12 hours per participant to be structured either as monthly meetings or spread more flexibly throughout the period and across different channels of communication.
FIELDNOTES are actively seeking applications from underrepresented groups. Artists and writers who face cultural, social, physical or economic barriers in the arts are particularly encouraged to submit. Access riders are welcomed.
This programme has been made possible by support from The Fenton Arts Trust and Arts Council England.
