| ACE Creative People and Places fund open to 8 West Mids areas Posted: 31 Jan 2012 02:12 AM PST The Arts Council has launched a new £37 million fund to aimed at ensuring more people living in places where levels of involvement are currently low experience and are inspired by the arts. Over three years the Creative People and Places Fund will invest in around 15 programmes of activity that use radical new approaches to developing excellent, inspiring and sustainable arts experiences for communities not currently engaging with the arts. The Arts Council has used the Active People survey to identify 71 areas of the country which fall into the lowest 20% of arts engagement. Grants of between £500,000 and £3 million will be invested in a number of these areas with the aim of increasing participation. The areas pinpointed in the West Midlands region are: Birmingham It is reported that excellence, both artistic and in engaging communities, will be at the heart of successful applications, with the Arts Council investing in programmes that encourage long-term collaborations between local communities and arts organisations, museums, libraries and local authorities. Alan Davey, Chief Executive, Arts Council England said: "We hope this programme will inspire new partnerships. We'd like to hear from consortia that include organisations we know are doing great work in developing audiences and, perhaps, others who may not have worked with the Arts Council before, but who could be part of innovative programmes that have a real impact in attracting new people to the arts. "Though at this stage we can only offer funding for three years, we'd like to see applicants articulating a 10 year ambition for the communities they're working with that will transform how local people experience and access the arts." As well as increasing artistic participation in these areas, the Creative people and places investment will help the Arts Council learn about the impact of different approaches to increasing engagement, The knowledge gained from the programme will be made available to arts organisations, museums and libraries, local authorities and the wider cultural sector. There will be two funding rounds for applications to the fund, with first round opening on 30 January 2012. Interested consortia need to register their intention to apply with their regional Arts Council office by 23 March 2012 with the closing date for the first round of applications 13 April 2012. The Creative People and Places programme is open to applications from any consortia that meet the eligibility criteria. All applications must be proposing work in one or more of the areas with the lowest 20% of arts engagement as identified by the Arts Council. Read more: The Creative People and Places programme |
| Birmingham and Ironbridge are successful in winning Renaissance museum major partner awards Posted: 31 Jan 2012 01:52 AM PST Arts Council England has announced the 16 Major partner museums which will together receive approximately £20 million a year in funding for the next three years (April 2012 - March 2015) as part of its Renaissance programme for regional museums.
Arts Council England has announced the 16 Major partner museums which will together receive approximately £20 million a year in funding for the next three years (April 2012 - March 2015) as part of its Renaissance programme for regional museums. Two museums in the West Midlands have been successful - the new Birmingham Museums Trust (a partnership of Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery and ThinkTank) and the Ironbridge Gorge Museum in Shropshire. Birmingham Museums Trust plans to invest in activities to increasingly open up their collections to a wider and more diverse cross section of people. Both Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery and ThinkTank plan on creative collaborations with local communities and creative and cultural organisations. Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust's proposal is to achieve excellence through the development of their collections, by building new cultural partnerships and by developing the number of visitors. The awards follow the Arts Council's assumption of responsibilities for museum development from the Museums Libraries and Archives Council (MLA) in 2011. It is the first time major Renaissance grants have been awarded for a three year period via an open application system against published criteria. Ros Robins, West Midlands Director, Arts Council England, said: 'We are delighted that two major museum trusts in the region have been selected to be major partner museums. Both the new Birmingham Trust and the Ironbridge Gorge Museum have outstanding reputations for their collections and visitor numbers.' The 16 major partners represent a diverse range of museums across England, including local authority and university museums and independent trusts. Several successful applications came from consortia, meaning that 23 museum services will receive support through this part of Renaissance. For more information click here
