UK-based charities can apply for funding to deliver projects and activities that make a difference in people’s lives through the arts, promote skills development in the arts and heritage sector, and 
support local arts organisations and museums.
The Arts Society is offering grants of up to £3,000 for UK-registered charities with an annual turnover of less than £3 million to deliver projects across all aspects of the arts and heritage, such as:
- Projects that support a wide range of activities to introduce people of all ages and backgrounds to artistic experiences and practise, such as the development and training of skills in the arts, crafts, and heritage through bursaries, sponsorships, and crafts apprenticeships.
- Support for regional museums, galleries, and arts organisations, such as:
- Special projects
- Displays
- Internships and part-time posts
- Training
- Conservation activities
- Regional and local theatres and performing arts spaces and groups
Priority will be given to projects that provide access to the arts to those that would not normally have access to them, projects where there will be more emphasis on localism, and projects and organisations that support the arts and heritage at a grassroots level and achieve greater impact for local communities.
There is a two-stage application process through The Arts Society’s online portal.
Deadline: 30 September 2023
