Calling all local artists - fancy an arts grant courtesy of the council?

Calling all local artists! If you want an arts grant from Wandsworth Council asap, you must get your application in by Monday 6th September.

 

These small grants fund aim to support new initiatives, extensions of existing projects, or experiments with new work. Individuals can apply for up to £500 and organisations can apply for up to £1,500. The grant can cover up to 70 per cent of the overall project budget.

 

Residents based in Battersea and Roehampton are particularly welcome because of the diversity and hard to reach groups associated with these areas.

 

Deadlines for the small grant applications over the next six months are as follows:

 

Monday 6 September 2010 - you will be notified by Monday October 4

Monday 6 December 2010 - you will be notified by Monday January 18

Monday 7 February 2011 - you will be notified by Monday March 14

 

The arts team is hosting a free workshop to explain more about the scheme and to help residents with their applications.  The session takes place Monday 6 September, from 12.30pm to 2.30pm at Northcote Library, 155e Northcote Road, SW11. There is no need to book.
