Hugo Burge Foundation Opens Creative Grants Programme
The Hugo Burge Foundation is an independent charity dedicated to supporting the arts and crafts across the United Kingdom.
They are accepting applications to its creative grants programme, offering financial support for arts, crafts and the wider creative industries across the UK.
Support is available through three strands:
- Creative Education backs projects that give young people aged 0 to 29 opportunities to take part in creative activity. This can include workshops in schools, field trips to arts or cultural sites and the purchase of materials to support student engagement
- Creative Communities is aimed at organisations, festivals, fairs and community groups that develop and deliver cultural and creative arts activity in their local areas. Eligible activity includes community arts festivals, cultural fairs and other locally delivered creative events
- Creative Individuals offers support to artists aged over 18, including practitioners working in visual and expressive arts as well as writers and craftspeople. The strand is intended to help individuals undertake artistic projects and develop new creative work
The maximum award is £15,000 for applications under the Creative Education and Creative Communities strands. For Creative Individuals, grants of up to £5,000 are available.
