Capital Campaigns

In June 2012 Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop opened the new Bill Scott Sculpture Centre following a major capital campaign.

We are about to begin the second phase of development, the Creative Laboratories, which has been funded by the Arts Funding Prize for Edinburgh administered by Foundation Scotland.

Revenue Funding

ESW receives annual funding from Creative Scotland and the City of Edinburgh Council and brings in earned income from our activities but we rely on additional financial and in-kind contributions each year to fund our programme and major projects.  If you would like to support ESW’s work with artists and community there are many ways in which you can help:

Make a Donation
You can support ESW through a once-off or regular donation which will be put towards our annual programme. In return you will benefit from opportunities to attend previews and special events and meet artists we work with.

Direct Support For Our Artists and Community
There are many sponsorship and funding opportunities linked to activities in the new Sculpture Centre and Creative Laboratories. As well as major fundraising campaigns such as
Gift An Artist Studio we need funding for International Residencies and our Bursaries and Awards which support emerging artists or you may prefer to help us realise projects with schools and our local community.

We will work with companies and individuals to establish a valuable and rewarding partnership which is tailored to sponsors’ and supporters’ interests.

In Kind Donations
ESW welcomes offers of in-kind donations of equipment, materials or supplies which will benefit the artists working here.

Match Funding
ESW can benefit additionally through gift aid on donations or through match funding schemes such as the Scottish Government New Arts Sponsorship Grants scheme and we are happy to provide more information about these on request.
