What is the Artist’s Attachment?
The Magnetic North Artist’s Attachment is a major new paid development opportunity for Scottish-based artists with a significant track record from any art form. It is funded by Creative Scotland and the Jerwood Charitable Foundation.
The selected artist will be attached to Magnetic North for up to 18 months with the purpose of focusing on a significant new development in their practice. The artist can be from any art form – theatre, dance, visual art, music or film, for example – but the attachment will be particularly suitable for those with either a performative element to their work, or an interest in developing one.
During the time of the attachment, the artist will be paid a bursary of £15,000, calculated to give them up to 6 months dedicated time whilst allowing them time to undertake other commissions or work.
The artist will also have a budget of £5,000 to be used in connection with the attachment – for example, to pay other artists or collaborators, to travel or undertake training. The company will support and advise the artist on planning this expenditure and will manage all payments, reducing administrative pressure on the artist and allowing the most efficient use of the money available.
There is the flexibility to complete the attachment in a shorter time, if necessary, though we would not want it to be less than 12 months.
