What is Exeter Arts Council?

It is an independent group funded by the City Council. Its members are drawn from the major arts and cultural organisations in the City.

It encourages creative activities in Exeter, from both individuals and groups, by providing financial support. This can be in the form of grants or guarantees against loss.

We fund

• Arts events and activities taking place in Exeter.
  
• Events to which the general public has access.
  
• Fees or travelling expenses for visiting artists.
  
• All art forms, events, performances, exhibitions, workshops … provided    that they benefit people in Exeter.
