Arts Council Project Grants
Funding priority
Project Grants helps the Arts Council achieve its mission of ‘Great art and culture for everyone’.
It supports a broad range of not-for-profit projects that create and sustain quality work and help people across England to engage with arts and culture.
The programme also supports development by allowing artists, cultural practitioners and organisations to work in new ways and to get their work out to new audiences.
Applications must meet the programme’s four criteria: Quality, Public engagement, Finance and Management.
