Grants to Encourage Participation in the Arts (England)

The Arts Council England will launch a new round of their Creative People and Places National Portfolio Fund on the 12th of September, 2024.

The Fund aims to support arts projects in places where participation in the arts is significantly below the national average.

Grants of between £750,000 and £1 million will be available to bring creative opportunities to communities in 142 eligible locations not currently engaging with the arts.

The Arts Council is keen to encourage long-term collaborations between local communities and arts organisations, museums, libraries and local authorities.

Match funding of 15% is required.

Activities must be delivered over three years and start on the 1st April 2026.

The closing date for applications is the 16th January 2025.
