Overview:

• Arts and cultural organisations based in England are invited to apply for funding for a digital creative project of between £5,000 and £16,000 inc. VAT (maximum funding for audio-only projects is £8,000 inc. VAT).
• Museums, libraries, community organisations and local councils are eligible to apply, providing the proposed project is culturally focused.
• This is an opportunity to develop and deliver a creative project for online or in- person audiences, using digital elements that your organisation has perhaps not worked with before.
• Your project might be a video or audio piece, or an interactive or immersive experience. We welcome work that uses technology or platforms in innovative ways that may provide new insights and case studies for the cultural sector.
• Applications cannot consist only of digital marketing activity. They must focus on providing a creative or cultural experience. However, marketing costs should be included in your budget.
• In addition to funding, if your application is successful, we will work with you to address areas where you may need help e.g., digital production, digital accessibility, content distribution, audience development and online rights.
• We are committed to selecting a range of projects that reflect the diversity of England. We particularly welcome applications from diverse-led and disabled-led organisations and from organisations based outside London, in particular those based in Arts Council England’s Levelling Up for Culture Places.
• You can apply online here. We also accept applications in other formats. If you need help applying, we can pay for access support.
• The deadline for applications is 5pm Thursday 29th May 2025.
• We will let you know if your application is successful by Friday 27th June 2025.
• We are looking for projects that can be published by the end of March 2026.
