About

Arts Council England invests public money from Government and The National Lottery to support the cultural sector, including artists, arts organizations, museums, and libraries across the country.
Funding Opportunities
Developing Your Creative Practice (DYCP)
Developing Your Creative Practice (DYCP) is a fund offered by Arts Council England that supports individual creative and cultural practitioners to focus on their development and take them to the next stage of their practice. The fund is designed specifically for individuals working in Arts Council England's supported disciplines who want to invest in their own professional growth. Activities can include building new networks, experimenting with new collaborators or partners, international travel to explore practice, professional development activities such as training and working with mentors, and research and development time to explore practice and take risks. The fund aims to support a clear step change in individual practice rather than short-term project-based activity or community engagement projects. Applications are assessed competitively, and the program operates on a rolling basis with multiple rounds throughout the year.
Supporting Grassroots Music
Supporting Grassroots Music (SGM) is a funding programme jointly funded by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and Arts Council England, designed to help secure the sustainability of the grassroots music sector in England. This investment programme supports venues, festivals and promoters, recording studios and rehearsal spaces as well as sector bodies operating in grassroots music. The programme supports the transition of artists, bands and industry professionals to sustainable careers in music, as well as the development of new audiences and the grassroots music sector as a whole. The programme operates with monthly application deadlines on a rolling basis, with applications submitted via email following a specific application process. Supporting Grassroots Music is no longer part of the National Lottery Project Grants programme and now uses dedicated application forms and guidance documents.
