Arts Investment Fund Application


Kent Creative and Cultural Economy Reset and Forward Plan Grant 2021 Application Form

Please note that this form will time-out following 20 minutes of non-activity

Overview
These are exceptional times and earlier this year we made the decision to withdraw our Arts Investment Fund as most of the activity we were being asked to fund could not take place. We are now providing funding to help the sector to reset and forward plan to adapt to the new environment.

We are offering grants of up to £2,500 to help you respond to the immediate challenges you are facing and develop plans for the future. This year we do not require match funding.

The closing date for applications is midday on Thursday 11 February 2021.
