Launch of the Capital of Culture Arts and Culture Grants Programme
2007/08
The above programme is now open for applications, from Tuesday 21st
November with a closing date of Monday 18th December 2006. The programme
invites voluntary and community groups, public sector arts and cultural
organisations and individual artists to apply for grants. There are two
themes as follows:
- The Creative Communities Theme
Awards grants of between £500 and £5,000 to encourage diverse
community arts and sports events and activities to celebrate the City's
heritage and 800th birthday. It has a total of £240,000 to distribute
with £40,000 of this being specifically allocated to the Sporting Chance
sub theme. More details about the Roots and the World in One City sub-themes
are given below:
- Roots
This creative programme will embrace the city's diverse heritage
in its 800th birthday year - uncovering stories that emanate through
our history. Where do we come from, why are we here, what is it that
makes Liverpool today?
We are looking for innovative creative projects that explore the roots
of our heritage, which involve artists and communities to explore the
past and how it impacts on our future.
This programme will also support projects that explore the 200th anniversary
of the Abolition of the Slave Trade.
- The World in One City
We have enabled hundreds of local groups to participate in the build
up to 2008 and we want The World in One City grants to reflect this. We are
looking for collaborations with communities and artists that explore Liverpool's
place in Europe and the world, that fit within our Vision (see guidelines)
and that showcase the breadth of our cultural offer.
We want to support key projects that support our opening programme, have
a public face and ideally culminate in a public performance whether that's
in a shopping centre or in a church hall. This programme is about ensuring
that when the world comes to Liverpool creativity and culture are embedded
within every community.
- The Innovation and Development Theme
Awards grants of between £500 and £10,000 for arts and cultural organisations
based in the City who want to deliver benefits to communities and build the
capacity of artists. Project proposals should increase access to Liverpool's
diverse arts and media through partnerships, employment opportunities, participation
and innovative approaches. There is £200,000 available for distribution within
this theme.
