Westmorland Arts Trust Fund
The Westmorland Arts Trust Fund provides grants to help make artistic presentation and facilities more widely available to people, particularly young adults and children, in the former county of Westmorland. The fund aims to ensure that residents of the former county of Westmorland experience the highest quality of music, drama and the visual arts. The Trust was set up in 1996 by the provisions in the will of Dr Elizabeth Kemp, for the purpose of the education of the public in the arts of music, drama and the visual arts. The fund supports activities that allow residents to have access to the Arts at the highest level, including productions such as lectures, dance, touring theatre, art exhibitions, workshops, art, writing and drama residencies, puppet theatre and music concerts of all kinds. Applications must have professional input and be able to demonstrate artistic excellence. The Trust prioritizes events in more rural areas. Previous activities supported include school activities for summer exhibitions, choral and orchestral performances, and arts projects and artists' residencies in schools. The fund is currently closed and will reopen in April 2026.
