To apply for this bursary, please follow the link on the Museum Galleries Scotland website (https://www.museumsgalleriesscotland.org.uk/bursary-for-museum-marketing-photography/)
You’ll be asked to describe the photographs you would like to commission, and how you will use them. Museums which demonstrate a clear need for photography will be prioritised for this funding.
You’ll also need to provide an estimate of your costs. Preferably, this will include quotes from the people you plan to work with. Follow the guidance on their website to make sure you identify the right photographers and models for the job. The bursary can cover travel expenses, but not the purchase of equipment.
