Derbyshire Artists' Marketing Grants

Two feather rings by Rachel Emmerson

Derbyshire Arts Partnership (opens in a new window) provides Marketing Grants to new and emerging artists to help boost the county's creative economy and both support and promote Derbyshire's local artistic talent.


Individual professional artists and small arts based businesses based in Derbyshire and working in any artform are eligible to apply. The grant supports visual artists, musicians, writers, dancers and performers and can contribute towards a wide range of marketing including new publicity material, photography, advertising and website development. (Please note that if you wish to apply for costs relating to web development, you must explain how it is additional to the web presence that you are able to get for free on artsderbyshire.)

Applicants must be resident in Derbyshire, excluding Derby City, or the majority of work must take place within the County boundary. If you only have an administrative base in the county you will not be eligible. Due to the high number of applicants, preference will be given to those who both live and work in Derbyshire, are new or emerging businesses and who have not received a Derbyshire Arts Partnership marketing grant previously.

The scheme is administered through the regions leading creative development agency, Design Factory, a not-for-profit organisation committed to supporting the development and success of designer/makers in the East Midlands, on behalf of the Derbyshire Arts Partnership.

Applications are considered twice a year, in March and November.
