A Shropshire arts project has been awarded £180,000 as it plans to engage new audiences across the region.
Arts Alive, in Shropshire and Herefordshire, has been awarded the money from the BFI National Lottery Audience Projects Fund for its Flicks in the Sticks – Reaching Out project.
Arts Alive partners with people in rural communities to organise over 1,000 high quality events each year, including cinema, live music, theatre, dance, and storytelling shows in village halls and community centres to ensure that affordable arts and film is available to every person in Shropshire and Herefordshire.
"Our National Lottery funding is for public benefit, so we are working with projects which have demonstrated a strong commitment to reaching and welcoming audiences who are currently under-served by their activities. These projects also demonstrate the variety of activity and organisations we can support through the fund, which I hope inspires future applicants.”
The open access fund will support a wide range of ambitious, audience-facing activity of national scale, including multi-year and research and development projects.
