Exeter’s Creative Arc is funding its final round of creative projects that will take place between October 2024 and March 2025.
Creative Arc is a collaboration between the University of Exeter and Exeter City Council to develop and deliver cultural activity in Exeter.
It is looking for proposals from Exeter/Devon-based creative practitioners from any artform.
The commission themes are Health & Wellbeing / Environment / People and Place-shaping, and the project aims are:
- Deliver tangible outcomes for community and place
- Contribute to ‘building pride of place and increasing life chances’
- Support local business (this includes freelancers and independent practitioners)
- Increase opportunities for people to engage with and participate in arts, culture and creativity
- Support opportunities for the development of skills
Applications should be relevant to one or more of our programme themes of Health & Wellbeing, Environmental Sustainability, and People and Place-shaping.
A range of commission budgets are available from £1,500 to £10,000. Deadline for applications is 9am on Monday 9 September 2024.
To be eligible, proposals must describe projects with meaningful community engagement and participation at their heart.
They must be led by Exeter/Devon-based individual creative practitioners or organisations, which involve Exeter-based communities, of interest, geography or need. Exeter-based means within the Exeter District boundary, the 13 wards of Exeter that make up the district authority.
Any questions should be sent to Belinda Dillon, Creative Arc Programme Manager, at b.dillon@exeter.ac.uk
