Programme_Alt-w Fund

Initiated by Scottish Screen in 2000, the Alt-w Fund is for practitioners based in Scotland to make and develop new artworks, devices and creative applications that challenge the notions of what new media creativity can be.

The fund supports artists to explore experimental and interactive practice, make use of technology as both platform and medium, and recognise the changing role that digital culture has in our society.

We're developing new strands for the Fund this season including residencies, education and touring initiatives. The process for applying into the current cycle of funding will be announced before the end of March 2012.

The distribution of Alt-w awards is managed by New Media Scotland and funded by Creative Scotland and the Centre for Design Informatics.
