What is the Creative Communities Scheme?
The Creative Communities Scheme supports and encourages local communities to create and present diverse opportunities for accessing and participating in arts activities within their specific geographical area, as well as for defined communities of interest.
Who can apply?
Individuals or groups seeking funding for local arts projects.
What's the new criteria?
As of July 2010, to be successful, applications must meet one or more of these three key funding criteria:
- Broad Community Involvement – the project will create opportunities for local communities to engage with and participate in arts activities.
- Diversity – the project will support the diverse arts and cultural traditions of local communities, enriching and promoting their uniqueness and cultural diversity
- Young People – The project will enable and encourage young people (under 18 years) to engage with and actively participate in the arts.
There are a range of other eligibility criteria, detailed on the Guide For Applicants, which you can download here
