Grants of up to £3,000 are available for UK-registered charities with an annual turnover of less than £1 million to deliver projects and activities that enable access to the arts, strengthen local cultural activity, and help develop skills across the arts and heritage sectors.

The Arts Society will support a variety of projects across all aspects of the arts and heritage, such as:

Creative workshops, education programmes, and community arts initiatives.
Bursaries for students or apprentices.
Heritage and conservation activities.
Exhibitions, displays, internships, or part-time posts that directly support arts or heritage engagement.

Priority will be given to projects that:

Provide access to the arts for people who may not otherwise have opportunities to engage.
Introduce people of all ages and backgrounds to artistic and creative experiences.
Support the development, training, and preservation of artistic, craft, and heritage skills.
Enhance the work of local and regional museums, galleries, archives, and performing arts organisations.
Deliver meaningful benefits at a grassroots level and have a clear positive impact on local communities.

Proposed projects should demonstrate clear public benefit and make a positive difference to people’s lives, and should be viable, well-managed, and sustainable.

The deadline for applications is 31 March 2025. For more information please visit The Arts Society Grants | The Arts Society
