SANE has a long association with the arts and for many years held a successful awards scheme providing grants to individuals wishing to further their artistic development. 

 

The SANE Creative Awards Scheme builds on this tradition and presents an opportunity for those affected by mental ill-health to take a step towards realising their creative potential.   

The scheme aims to improve the quality of life for people with mental health problems and their carers. The awards may be used to purchase art materials, make a contribution towards course or exhibition costs and in the case of carers, help towards the cost of replacement care. 

Awards are given for proposals in visual art which, for the purposes of the scheme, include all forms of painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, mixed media and digital art. 

More info and application details can be found on their website, and in the flyer and form here:
