No, if you offer these types of services then you are not eligible to apply to the Open Fund for Individuals for funding. The Open Fund for Individuals is not able to support the development of work in the area of service design and/or creative communications for a market with an established value chain, including intermediary creative agencies.

We consider this type of work to be customer/client-led  and not artist/creative-led This means that it is driven by market demand, and as such does not align with Creative Scotland’s remit as a funder.
