Grants

We have two grant schemes for the arts - community arts grants and small arts grants. Artists Marketing grants are funded by the Arts Partnership.

Derbyshire Designer Maker Marketing grants are available to support marketing activities which will sustain the business and help it to grow.

Community arts grants are awarded annually to participatory arts organisations in Derbyshire. The groups receiving grants in 2008/09 are:

Buxton Festival
Derbyshire Arts Development Group
Firebird Trust
First Movement
Fleet Arts
High Peak Community Arts
Junction Arts
Learning Through Arts
Orchestras Live
People Express

Small arts grants are awarded three times a year to any organisation developing arts work in Derbyshire. They can provide funding of up to £1,000 for projects which fit into one or more of these priorities:

developing new audiences and participants in arts activity
supporting arts work with disabled people
supporting arts work in rural areas
supporting the creative economy.

The following are NOT eligible:

individuals
organisations which already receive funding from Derbyshire County Council
any work in schools which is in school time or supports the curriculum
organisations which have already received a small arts grant
