More funding for individuals and freelancers!

We’re contributing £1 million each to @uk_theatre's #TheatreArtistsFund and @HelpMusiciansUK’s Financial Hardship Funding programme, to support freelance theatre workers and professional musicians https://www.artscouncil.org.uk/our-open-funds/benevolent-funds

We want to help as many freelancers as we can working in the performing arts, which will be the last element of the cultural sector to fully reopen - Round two of #TheatreArtistsFund opened TODAY and #HelpMusicians is in Phase Two of its Financial Hardship Funding programme

We're supporting individuals in other ways too. We’ve reopened #NationalLottery Project Grants, with a focus on supporting individuals with activities that help them think, plan and stabilise for the future. Find out if your activity is eligible here: https://www.artscouncil.org.uk/projectgrants 

We're also bringing back Developing Your Creative Practice, #DYCP in the Autumn! We'll invest in a wider group of creatives, with a much bigger budget of £18 million. Sign up for our newsletter for updates: http://www.artscouncil.org.uk/sign-our-enewsletter

It is really important to us that we support the whole cultural ecology. Find out more about what we're doing to help in @HENLEYDARREN's recent blog post > https://www.artscouncil.org.uk/blog/supporting-whole-cultural-ecology
