Local Funding

Arts in Essex - Grant
Essex County Council - Libraries, Culture & Heritage
This is the Arts Development Team's small grants scheme launched in April 2000. The scheme is aimed at individuals, voluntary and professional organisations who are running arts projects for the benefit of people in the County of Essex. This scheme offers one-off project support.
District, Borough, Parish and Town Councils, Schools, Further and Higher Education establishments and other departments within Essex County Council may be a partner in an Arts in Essex application. However, the application must be submitted by either an individual, voluntary or professional organisation. Building-based operations such as Theatres or Arts Centres that are part of a Local Authority's direct provision will be regarded as ‘independent' for the purposes of this scheme.
Arts organisations supported through the County Council's Strategic Arts Organisation Programme may only apply for support towards projects which are additional to those specified in their Service Level Agreement with the County.
Only one grant will be awarded to an individual/organisation in any given year.
Awards will normally be between £200 and £2,500
