Artists, musicians, filmmakers, and other creatives have until the start of next month to get their applications in for the island’s next round of arts funding.
Guernsey Arts Grants Scheme provides “vital support for creative projects” in the Bailiwick, a spokesperson said.
Louise Le Pelley, from Guernsey Arts, said the grants ensured the arts were “not just a luxury for those who can afford it”.
The States-funded scheme plays a “crucial role in making our island inspiring and culturally connected”, she said.
Art, music, and performance helped keep the Bailiwick “vibrant and an attractive place in which to live and work”, she added.
Previous projects which have been supported include the Peter Port Sketch Club Community Exhibition, Guernsey’s Dance World Cup team, and the Guernsey Literary Festival.
Guernsey Arts has also supported 11 film projects since 2021, including psychological drama Albert, which is holding a premiere at St James in March.
The organisation awards about £59,000 in grants each year, with most being under £5,000.
They are open to “individuals, non-commercial organisations and others who use the arts for the benefit of the community”.
The deadline for the latest round of applications is 1 March and applications must be received at least three months before the start of the project.
