The Arts Council has opened a new scheme modelled on the Awards for All scheme but not funded by the National Lottery for Protestant communities. Place, Identity and Art is a £200,000 programme.
Place, Identity and Art has been established by the Arts Council of Northern Ireland as a result of the Renewing Communities Report, published in 2006, which is the Government’s response to the report of the Taskforce on Protestant Working Class Communities.
The report has identified groups who experience rural isolation and those who cannot accept Lottery funding as being in need of additional support.
The programme will fund projects which involve people in their own communities, bringing them together to enjoy a wide range of arts activities.
Any group wishing to apply to this fund under the criterion of not being able to accept Lottery funding, must provide a statement from the most senior person within the organisation stating your objections to accepting Lottery funding. If you are a member of a larger body i.e. a youth club associated to a Church, this statement should come from the most senior person within your Church.
If you are a group who for ethical reasons cannot accept Lottery funding, based in a Protestant working class community, either urban or rural, and you need between £500 and £5,000, then Place, Identity and Art could be for you.
