The Arts Society: Society Grants
Overview
Member Societies of The Arts Society can apply for a grant to support a project they wish to take part in or support. They believe that the arts are for everybody and will use their grants to make a positive contribution to people's lives through the arts.
The need to support their local arts organisations and museums and continue the vital contribution of skills development in the arts and heritage sector is greater than ever. Grants given to their Societies enable their volunteers, members and the wider community to engage with and give access to the arts especially to those that normally wouldn't have access to them.
WHAT YOU CAN APPLY FOR
Their Societies can apply in the Spring & Autumn rounds for grants of up to £1500.
Arts Volunteering projects support a wide range of activities to introduce people of all ages to, and engage them in, artistic experience and practice. They may include artists in residence; art lectures for students; funding visits to art galleries and museums; art exhibitions for young artists; arts supplies; practical workshops; local Arts Week events; bursaries for individual students; and sponsorship for craft apprentices.
Whilst most applications received are for Arts Volunteering projects Societies are welcome to apply for a grant to support their Heritage Volunteering or Trails of Discovery projects.
They welcome applications where there will be more emphasis on localism and that support projects and organisations that support the arts and heritage at grass roots level and achieve greater impact for local communities.
