Deadline: 30-Sep-22
The Patricia Fay Fund Autumn 2022 grant is now open for applications from Charities up to £3,000.
All grants from The Arts Society is intended to give access to the arts to those that wouldn't normally have access to them. The Art Society believes the arts are for everybody and will use the grants to make a positive contribution to people's lives through the arts.
Priorities
The Art Society has identified three areas.
-
Young Arts
- Young Arts programmes support a wide range of activities to introduce young people to and engage them in artistic experience and practice. They include artists in residence; art lectures for students; funding visits to art galleries and museums; art exhibitions for young artists; equipment purchases; practical workshops; local Arts Week events; bursaries for individual students; and sponsorship for craft apprentices.
-
Skills Development
- This area is about projects and programmes that further the development and training of skills in the arts, crafts, and heritage. There are no age limits to this as the Art Society believes that people of all ages benefit from acquiring and honing their creative and heritage skills.
-
Regional Museums, Galleries & Arts Organisations
- The work of regional and local museums and galleries is important in connecting people with their local heritage and arts, yet these institutions often struggle to raise funds for projects and internships during times of budget cuts. Their grants may support special projects, displays, internship or part-time posts, training, and conservation activities. They will also consider applications involving regional and local theatres and performing arts spaces and groups.
