Projects Invited For Belfast 'Creative And Cultural Fund'
Belfast City Council is encouraging applications for the next round of projects to benefit from the Creative and Cultural Fund for Belfast.
The £900,000 fund is set up by Belfast City Council and the Arts Council of Northern Ireland and aims to bring three years of cross-community arts and heritage projects to the city. A total of £270,000 is available in funding for this tranche.
The Lord Mayor of Belfast, Councillor Nichola Mallon, said: "I am delighted that thousands of people, right across the city, of all ages and walks of life, have the chance to be involved in and be inspired by these flagship projects.
"Creative and Cultural Belfast is the first initiative of its kind. It is the largest amount of project funding ever awarded by Belfast City Council which demonstrates Belfast City Council’s strong ongoing commitment to the cultural life of this city. Now the challenge is to the people of Belfast – how will you be involved and be creative?"
Applications for the second round of projects opened today (Tuesday 2 September). The deadline for expressions of interest is Friday 3 October, and the closing date for the receipt of application forms is Friday 31 October.
