Funding the Arts

We are committed to supporting the arts in Hampshire and ensuring that Hampshire residents have access to a range of activities catering for everybody.

The arts grants scheme assists in delivering an exciting mix of visual arts, music, festivals, dance, new media, drama and literature to communities across the county by awarding grants to organisations planning arts activities.

If you are organising or planning an arts activity, please take a look to see how the arts service can support you and assist in your delivery through the Arts Grants Scheme.
