This scheme is provided by Immersive Arts
Immersive Arts is an ambitious three-year programme taking place across the UK, using an artist-led approach to working with immersive technologies. This exciting programme encourages artists of all backgrounds and experience to explore, experiment or expand how they work, or would like to, with immersive technologies.
The programme’s purpose is to:
- Create accessible and inclusive opportunities, breaking down barriers to working with immersive tools.
- Support artists to develop innovative work, regardless of their level of experience or technical knowledge.
- Build a strong community of creators across the UK to share ideas and collaborate.
- Advocate for a more diverse and sustainable future for immersive arts by disrupting traditional approaches and championing new voices.
What funding is available?
Three strands of funding is available:
- Explore (£5,000): Supports early-stage exploration and skills development with immersive technologies. Projects last 3-6 months, with producer support included.
- Experiment (£20,000): For developing prototypes and testing concepts with audiences. Runs for 4-9 months, with training and refinement opportunities.
- Expand (£50,000): For projects in advanced stages, helping to scale impact and enhance engagement. Lasts 6-12 months, with tailored mentoring and additional support.

How many projects will be funded?
Over 200 artists across the UK between 2024 and 2027. The funding will be distributed across three rounds, with successful applicants receiving support through one of the three funding strands: Explore, Experiment, or Expand.
