Arts and culture venues across the capital can now apply for government funding.
London’s venues had been excluded from applying to The Cultural Development Fund, which has provided £75 million up and down the country since 2019.
But The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) have said that organisations and venues in London’s artistic and cultural sector can now apply for the fourth round of funding.
That means that your local pub, club or community gardens could get a portion of the £15 million fund ringfenced by DCMS.
Darren Henley, the chief executive of Arts Council England, praised the next round of funding, saying it will “make an even bigger impact on the places where they’re based, benefiting the communities they work with.”
