CULTURAL & CREATIVE INVESTMENT PROGRAMME GRANT SCHEME

Dudley Council is set to benefit from £247,500 capital funding to invest in cultural assets.  The fund is intended to unlock under-utilised infrastructure, widen access to cultural experiences, and drive inclusive, place-based regeneration through culture. 

​​

Cultural and Creative Investment Programme funding can support small-to medium scale capital works that enhance or upgrade locally significant cultural and heritage assets.

​

Applications will need to meet at least two of the following outcomes:

• Investment in infrastructure to support creative and cultural activities for audiences in Dudley borough

• Support increased visitor numbers

• Increased participation in cultural and creative activity

• Improvements to place through arts and culture

• Improved environmental sustainability

 

‘Department for Culture, Media and Sport’ defines the cultural sector as those industries with a cultural object at the centre of the industry, including built heritage, film, libraries, literature, museums and galleries, performing arts, public broadcasting, and the visual arts.
