Arts Grants

There are a number of funding opportunities available to local artists and organisations delivering arts projects and activities in the borough.

Funding from Gedling Borough Council

We offer small amounts of funding to assist groups and individuals in the delivery of quality arts & community events that support the Council’s Priorities. These are:

People
Homes
Jobs
Place
Performance
Recreation

Further information about the Council's Priorities is included as part of the guidance notes attached at the back of the application form.

Arts Grant Form 2012 [307kb]

Funding is only available for individuals and organisations based in the borough and for events that are held in Gedling for the benefit of its residents.

Some examples of past projects we’ve supported are:

Arts training sessions for play workers
Holiday activities delivered by local schools
Support for performing arts groups to extend the number of performances they can deliver in the community

Please note that we are unable to support school fundraising events. We also receive more applications for funding than the resources available, so not all applications will be awarded funding.

Nottinghamshire Arts Fund

Run by Nottinghamshire County Council, Nottinghamshire Arts Fund welcomes applications for projects that increase participation in the arts in the County (excludes Nottingham City). You can apply at any time during the year for between £500 and £2500.
