Grants are available for the following purposes:
1. To enable professional arts organisations to develop arts activity for the benefit of the citizens of Glasgow.
2. To encourage arts projects with children and young people, Social Work Service users and culturally diverse groups. The aim is to create long-term sustainable funding partnerships.
In addition to the standard criteria the assessment will consider:
- Involvement of experienced professional artists
- Local importance and city-wide significance
- National or international impact
- The uniqueness of the project (i.e. dealing with a topic or activity not previously tackled)
Glasgow City Council will contribute a maximum of 50% of the total income. Grants are not available to provide ‘start-up’ funding for new organisations. All applicants have to demonstrate:
- demand
- a partnership approach to funding
- a decreasing reliance on Council support as the project develops.
Please note: Applicants may apply only once during the financial year. Only formally constituted groups and organisations are eligible to apply.
Funds for 2008/2009 are now fully allocated.
Application packs for 2009/2010 will be available in November 2008. The closing date for receipt of applications is 30th January 2009.
Applications will be considered in March 2009 and applicants informed of the outcome in April 2009.
