Working in close partnership with the University of Bristol and cultural organisations in Belfast and Derry (Nerve Centre), Cardiff (Wales Millennium Centre) and Glasgow (Cryptic), as well as Crossover Labs, Unlimited, XR Diversity Initiative and the Innovate UK Immersive Tech Network, Immersive Arts includes a rich programme of inclusive and accessible opportunities, breaking down the barriers for artists of all backgrounds to engage with immersive tools. [...] Almost £1.2 million has been allocated to 83 artist-led projects across the UK in the first round of Immersive Arts funding - a scheme supporting artists of all backgrounds and experience to work with immersive technologies. With three distinct grant amounts available - £5,000, £20,000 and £50,000 – the funding supports artists at different stages of their creative development: to explore, experiment or expand how they make work that uses technology to actively engage an audience. [...] A full list of first-round Immersive Arts funded projects is available on the Immersive Arts website. Funded projects include: London, England: Breathscapes by Clémentine Bedos - awarded an Expand grant.
