The Digital Arts and Creative Ageing programme is now open for applications and it will offer forward thinking organisations the chance to receive grant funding of up to £90,000, plus business support to scale existing creative arts services. The successful applicants will demonstrate how digital tech is being used effectively as a medium or tool to engage the over 65s in the creative arts.
What’s on offer?:
• Grant funding for each project of up to £90,000 - depending on the requirements and the number of projects funded
• Funder support for project delivery over an 18-month period.
• A support package including mentoring, marketing and communications advice and networking opportunities.
