Join us for a special funding event delivered in partnership with Arts Council England. This is an opportunity to learn more about Arts Council England’s open access funding scheme, Arts Council National Lottery Project Grants – what it funds, how to apply and what happens to your application.

The day will begin with Claire Simpson, Relationship Manager at Arts Council England will deliver an informal group presentation about Project Grants and Developing Your Creative Practice. This will be followed by an opportunity to have a more in-depth conversation with Claire in a 1-1 ‘surgery’.

Surgery slots can be booked in advance with the Talent Development team, and are aimed at anyone who has a project in development, or who has questions about a live funding application. All general information about funding programmes will be covered in the presentation.
