UK New Artists is #HereForCulture!
UK New Artists is delighted to announce that through Arts Council England we have been awarded funding thanks to the government’s Culture Recovery Fund. This funding enables us to deliver a programme of support for new artists with and for the city of Leicester and be #HereForCulture. Stay tuned for more news in the coming weeks!
UK new Artists believes that culture creates jobs, supports livelihoods, and brings joy to everyone. The UK leads the world in the creative industries and we can all feel pride in that.
UK New Artists is very proud to be among more than 2,700 recipients to benefit from the latest round of awards from the £1.57 billion Culture Recovery Fund.
“Our record breaking Culture Recovery Fund has already helped thousands of culture and heritage organisations across the country survive the biggest crisis they’ve ever faced.
Now we’re staying by their side as they prepare to welcome the public back through their doors - helping our cultural gems plan for reopening and thrive in the better times ahead”
“Investing in a thriving cultural sector at the heart of communities is a vital part of helping the whole country to recover from the pandemic. These grants will help to re-open theatres, concert halls, and museums and will give artists and companies the opportunity to begin making new work.
We are grateful to the Government for this support and for recognising the paramount importance of culture to our sense of belonging and identity as individuals and as a society.”
