Core to The Second Life Awards is a desire to fund projects that enrich Scottish cultural life and connect with Edwin Morgan’s life and work. As may be expected of a grants programme that aims to connect with the life and legacy of Edwin Morgan, our 2023 TSLA projects were wide reaching and multifaceted.
We also supported two continuing projects from the 2022 TSLA programme:
Associate Artist Programme
Disability Arts Online
This second year of funding enabled Disability Arts to support another Scottish poet through their Associate programme.
The Edwin Morgan Bursary
Moniack Mhor
In 2023, the Edwin Morgan Bursary programme enabled Moniack Mhor to support a further two Scottish poets through individualised residencies.
In addition to these six TSLA projects, the Edwin Morgan Trust decided to support existing organisations to develop their programmes in alignment with EMT missions, aims and objectives. This three-year pilot fund enables partners to build on their existing work and subsidise the current lack of support for small Scottish organisations in our sector.
