Member Fund/ Central Station set up it’s own commissioning strand to grant monthly awards to innovative and risky projects proposed by our members. Research during the development of the site revealed that what artists, filmmakers and designers wanted most was not promotion, advice or access to facilities but cold hard cash. In response we launched the Member Fund, £10k that was used to award small sums of cash each month to projects that wouldn’t be supported via traditional routes. No laborious application process, we just asked for applicants to tell us what they wanted to do and how much they wanted. The Member Fund was judged by our panel of Creative Heads, independent practitioners that included designers, curators, filmmakers and artists. Take a look at some of the projects we supported here.
