In the years 2023/24 to 2025/6, The Arts Council invested £116.8 million per year through National Lottery Project Grants and £14.4 million per year through Developing Your Creative Practice. The National Lottery Project Grant is Arts Council England's funding programme for arts, museums and libraries projects. It supports individuals and organisations delivering a broad range of high quality creative and cultural projects that benefit people living in England. You can apply for £1,000-£30,000 or £30,000- £100,000. We aim to broadly reflect the diversity of England through the grants we make. Developing your Creative Practice is Arts Council England's funding programme for individuals. It encourages development by allowing you to learn, innovate and take creative risks. It's all about you and making a meaningful shift in your practice that leads to future opportunities. You can apply for £2,000-£12,000. The next round opens on 4 June 2026 (midday) with a deadline of 2 July 2026 (midday). The Arts Council will be at Sarabande to discuss the fund, exploring both successful and unsuccessful applications to give top tips on how to apply for these amazing grants. This is a free event.
