What is the purpose of the fund?
Whose Art, Whose Culture? is looking for projects that look to celebrate and document arts, culture and heritage in all its forms – going well beyond traditional definitions of what constitutes arts, culture and heritage.
We are looking for projects that are public-facing and community-based.
Projects should primarily create opportunities for people to come together in publicly accessible spaces. This includes traditional public spaces such as high streets, town centres, parks and civic spaces, as well as community facilities that operate as shared community assets and offer substantial public access. Priority will be given to projects that demonstrate how they will engage the wider public and contribute to vibrant, welcoming neighbourhood spaces.
