Funding

There are a number of funding opportunities for the Arts within Wychavon from local, regional and national organisations. Your Arts Development Officer can advise or assist in the completion of arts grant forms and on any project ideas that you may have.

These are some of the grant schemes available for arts related projects:

Elmley Small Grants for the Arts   

The Elmley Small Grants Arts Fund is a scheme designed to open up new opportunities to create new work, reach new audiences and enable people from all works of life to take part in arts and cultural activities. The fund is intended to support small, local projects. Although you can apply for up to £1000, it is anticipated that most grants will be less than this.
