Main Grants Scheme - Arts

 The Foundation seeks applications that make a strong artistic case for support in either the performing or visual arts. Our Arts programme has a twofold purpose, to help sustain the arts and to support projects that particularly help to deliver artistic vision. Typical areas of support include: 
 

• helping to make the arts more accessible by developing new audiences, supporting tours, festivals and arts   educational projects; 
• encouraging new work and supporting young and emerging artists; and
• building and infrastructure projects to construct new arts facilities or improve or re-equip existing arts venues.

Generally, we make grants for specific projects. We will consider applications for core funding (but generally only from smaller organisations or from those not receiving recurrent revenue funding from the Arts Council or local authorities).

Please note that community arts activity will not generally be supported.
