Brighton and Hove Arts Partnership Awards

Aims of Fund

To enable a range of arts groups to provide activities that support participation in and enjoyment of a high quality cultural events calendar.

Who can apply

To get an Arts Partnership award, you must

  • be a 'not for profit' organisation with charitable aims and objectives
  • be supported by a match funding partner (awards are generally made at 5-10% of the total awarded by the match funding partner)
    NB The council will give out an award to a group before it has confirmation of its matched funding however it will not actually give any money to groups until their matched funding has been confirmed. If the match funding is not successful then the award will be withdrawn. Arts Partnership Awards cannot match previously secured funding as they are designed to help your group gain the match.

Groups may be in receipt of other funding from the council.

How much and what can you apply for

Grants will be in the region of £1000 to £2,500.

Total anticipated budget for 2012-13: Approx £60,000
