Creative people and places fund opens for applications

31 January 2012

Over three years, the Creative people and places programme will invest in around 15 programmes of activity that use radical new approaches to developing excellent, inspiring and sustainable arts experiences for communities not currently engaging with the arts.

The Arts Council has used the Active People survey to identify 71 areas of the country which fall into the lowest 20 per cent of arts engagement. Typically, grants of between £500,000 and £3 million will be invested in a number of these areas with the aim of increasing participation.

The programme is open to applications from any consortia that meet the eligibility criteria. All applications must be proposing work in one or more of the areas with the lowest 20 per cent of arts engagement as identified by the Arts Council (listed in an appendix to the programme guidance). There will be two funding rounds for applicants, with the first already open. Interested consortia need to register their intention to apply with their regional office by 23 March 2012 with the closing date for the first round of applications being 13 April 2012.
