How do I find out more about your funding?
Children & the Arts runs a programme called Start. Through Start, Children & the Arts works in partnership with arts organisations around the UK to engage with schools and young people, encouraging them to visit their local arts venue. The programme opens for applications once a year and the application guidelines and application form will be available on our website at that time. The programme usually opens for applications in December for projects taking place in the next academic year. The programme is specifically targeted towards supporting arts organisations.
Do you support individuals?
We do not provide funding for individuals.
Do you support schools?
We do not fund schools directly. If a school would like to be involved in the Start programme we would recommend that they speak to their local arts venue and encourage them to apply to the programme.
Do you support arts organisations that are not also arts venues?
We do support arts organisations that do not have a venue (i.e. touring companies) as long as their project meets the Start programme guidelines.
