Funding to Support the Creative Development of Individual Cultural and Creative Practitioners (England)

Arts Council England has reopened their Developing Your Creative Practice Fund.  The aim of the fund is to help individual cultural and creative practitioners explore new ways of working and to better respond to the changing environment as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Grants of between £2,000 and £10,000 are available to help individuals with their own creative development which could include research, time to create new work, travel, training, developing ideas, networking or mentoring.

Eligibility has been expanded to include practitioners such as DJs, performer/creators, arts and cultural educators, community practitioners/engagement specialists, movement directors, and creative technicians.

The programme is being supported with £18 million of National Lottery Funding.

There will be a total of four funding rounds between October 2020 and October 2021 and the deadline for applications for the current round is 12pm on the 2nd September 2021.
