Grants for the Arts
Grants for the arts is the Arts Council England funding scheme for individuals, organisations and other people who use the arts as part of their work.
We invest in the arts across England by making grants available under five aims:
- To change people's lives through opportunity to take part in or experience high quality arts activities
- To increase opportunities for cultural diversity in the arts
- To support excellence, new ideas and activity to build long-term stability in arts organisations
- To invest in the creative talent of artists and individuals to increase resources for the arts
