Funding for the arts
Kent County Council and the
Arts
Our aim is to enable arts activity to take place and to support
artists to develop their creative practice, in order to grow the
Kent economy and bring about positive change for residents and
visitors in the county. The Arts Investment Fund is a key tool in
enabling us to improve the quality of life for Kent communities and
develop the reputation of the county as a world class cultural
location.
We invest in the arts because we value its contribution to the
wellbeing of the county, and recognise it as a valuable tool for
the county’s work in economic and social regeneration, tourism,
environmental protection, planning, health, community safety,
skills development and education.
Kent Arts Development Unit
We support the development of the arts through advice and
enabling. By developing and maintaining productive networks
and partnerships, we strengthen the Kent arts infrastructure
and by challenging artists and arts organisations to
create new work, encourage new audiences, increase quality,
diversity and skills and lever new funding. Here is some
information to help with your organisation:
