Braziers Workshop is a non-profit making organisation set up in 1995. Taking place each August it is an artist-led initiative which strives to provide a meeting point for artists working in all visual disciplines. It brings together up to 30 artists of all nationalities for 16 days to work, exchange dialogue and experiment in a way that is mutually beneficial. It offers an opporunity of participating in an activity removed geograhically and conceptually from usual studio practice in an environment where experiments can be made and leaps of imagination can occur. The workshop is for professional artists who are willing to navigate ideas and working processes different from the habitual. Deadline usually in April.

Artists in residence at the famous whiskey distillers. In 2002 Glenfiddich established their Artists in Residence Programme at its Distillery in Dufftown. The Glenfiddich programme gives visual artists and musicians the opportunity to mix and work alongside like minded individuals, living on site in cottages at The Glenfiddich Distillery and utilising the atmosphere and environment as inspiration to explore and develop their work. The artists spend the summer at Glenfiddich (June - September) and have free reign to create new works.

This annual bursary for deaf and disabled artists working in the visual arts has been established in memory of Adam Reynolds by Shape in collaboration with his friends and family. Each year the bursary will be offered in conjunction with a residency in a visual arts venue. The bursary is intended to provide time, space and support for artists to work in an open-ended way without pressure to deliver a particular outcome. Artists can contact Shape for informal discussions about the bursary.

The residency provides an opportunity for an artist or craftsperson, who is at a key stage in their development, to spend an undisturbed period of time in a rural setting; the aim is to fully support research, experimentation and artistic and professional development of the individual. Accommodation, catering facilities and a private studio provided.
