The Arts Development service runs a small grant programme
called the Allerdale Arts Fund (AAF) which can give grants up to
the value of £300 on a first come first served basis. This
fund is available to individuals, groups and organisations wishing
to develop an arts programme or work with professional
artists. It will also support artists and creative
practitioners wishing to develop skills and undertake training.
Please note that the strategic strand of the AAF no longer
exists. This is due to reductions in the money we receive and is
outside our control. Please accept out apologies.
The revised Allerdale Arts Fund application
documents are available to download at the bottom of this
page. Alternatively, please contact Arts Development by
telephone 01900 702510 or email heritage.arts@allerdale.gov.uk to
request a copy. You can also apply for a grant using the
Allerdale Arts Fund online application form.
The grant panel meets a minimum of four times a year to
assess application forms. Please contact the service if you would
like to know the date of the next assesment meeting.
