Grants for arts is a scheme intended for larger scale grant aid to professional arts organisations delivering a programme of work within the district that furthers our key themes and strategies. The deadline for applications is 1 March each year.

Arts awards are available up to £1,000 to support local groups and organisations to develop arts opportunities and are intended to strengthen the vibrant voluntary and amateur arts sector. Deadline for applications is 1 March and 1 September each year.

For more information on each scheme, see under "Downloads" to the right.
