The Essex County Council Arts and Cultural Fund - Launch Event

Officially open for applications in January 2022, the Essex County Council’s new £1 million Arts and Cultural Fund will offer grants of between £2,500 to £30,000 to individual artists and creative organisations over five years.
The fund aims to rejuvenate the Essex creative sector, as well as the county’s towns and city high streets.
This virtual event features speakers from across Essex’s arts and culture sphere to tell you all about the grants, how you could be supported as an artist, charity, co-operative, business or organisation and how to apply.
Applications for 2022 are now open and must be made by Monday 28 February.

ENACT
The Essex Network of Arts and Cultural Tourism (ENACT) is a forum of creatives, arts and cultural practitioners and organisations from across Essex with a focus on sharing best practice, networking and information sharing, encouraging partnership working in the sector.
Now more than ever collaboration and communication are key to ensuring a vibrant cultural sector and ENACT has a key role in facilitating this. Open to anyone working in the arts, culture and creative industries in Essex, from local authorities to individual artists, you can email [e-mail] to find and more and get involved.
To ensure ENACT is as useful and robust as possible, there is currently an open survey which seeks to explore the appetite and opinions of Essex-based artists and arts organisations as to what a fit for purpose cultural network looks like. We’d very much value your opinions via this survey. www.surveymonk...
