Organised by Arts Council England
National Lottery Project Grants is Arts Council England’s open access programme for arts, museums and libraries projects.
About this event
Arts Council England supports creativity and culture across England.
National Lottery Project Grants is a fund for creative individuals and organisations in England who want funding for a project. It is open to everyone and you can apply at any time. These grants usually range from £1,000 to £100,000.
This free webinar is for creative people and organisations who specialise in Visual Arts.
Led by Visual Arts & Museums Relationship Managers in London, Gabriela Cala-Lesina and Monique Jivram, this 45-minute presentation will take you through the process of applying for National Lottery Project Grants. It will be followed by a 15-minute question and answer session. If your project is in London or you are based in London you will be able to book a one-to-one advice meeting with a Relationship Manager if you are a priority applicant.
