Jim Buckley, an artist from Cork who is now
based at the Robert Gordon University's Gray's School of Art in
Aberdeen, is among ten artists sharing in "Britain's richest
arts award scheme,", the Creative Scotland Awards. Buckley
is one of ten successful candidates who will each receive £30,000
to "develop their creative skills or experiment with other
art forms."
According to Buckley,
...my plan is to take time out of my
teaching commitments at Gray's School of Art and dedicate 12
months to researching major site specific light works in the
USA, Japan and Korea. I will talk to both artists and architects
about the use of light and apply this to a series of new works
in Aberdeen's Castlegate and Clydebank's waterfront.

Cheeez!! Damn right an artist should want to travel and
research with this kind of funding - what else do want from
them? To stay put and drink pints in Aberdeen or the
like??!!
