Arts Development in Allerdale
Support, Advice, Grant Aid, Project Management
The Arts
Development programme at Allerdale Borough Council exists
to promote creativity by offering help, advice,
support and in some cases
grant aid.
This support is available to individuals, groups and
organisations who are, or aspire to be, actively involved in the
arts and work with professional artists. The service actively
encourages, develops and funds the development of all art
forms, such as dance, theatre, visual arts, music,
creative writing and new media. The service has traditionally
targeted the development of art forms which are under-represented
in the borough. Recently this has meant investment in dance, visual
arts in the public realm and new media.
The objectives of the Arts Development programme can be summarised
as follows:
- To develop new audiences for the arts
- To increase access to the arts
- To encourage involvement in new art form
areas
- To establish new partnerships in arts
practise
The Arts Development Officers are available to
assist individuals, community groups and organisations to develop
arts programmes and activities involving professional artists. The
team can advise on funding opportunities, good practice, creative
programming, developing community arts projects and all aspects of
running and setting up an arts project.
