Arts Council announce £7.5m Audience Focus

Posted: 04 Nov 2011 07:23 AM PDT

The Arts Council England have announced an Audience focus grant commission. The fund is "intended to address major support needs in the sector; it will support a small number of large-scale national, sector-wide or major cross-regional collaborative activities."


The indicative budget available is £7.5m from 1 April 2012 to 31 March 2015, and it is anticipated that ACE will support in the region of 10-15 awards over the next three years, with the minimum award in the region of £100,000.


ACE are looking to invest in "high impact, exciting and ambitious proposals" that:


- have the potential to help funded organisations reach significantly more people and new audiences, or
- develop shared approaches to marketing and audience development that make significant savings for participating organisations


The outcomes we are looking for are:


- an increase in the numbers of people who regularly engage in the arts
- a wider range of people engaging in the arts; focusing on those who may have some engagement or are not currently engaged
- more resilient funded arts organisations, museums and libraries – through increased earned income from the public and also via efficiency savings from collaborative activity
- sustainable projects and services which support the arts and cultural sector to continue to increase reach and improve engagement


This audience development fund is open for applications from 4 November 2011 to 9 January 2012.
