CEP – Arts Award Start Up Packages

Are you a member of a Cultural Education Partnership and want to kick-start and develop your Arts Award provision?

The Mighty Creatives are offering two Arts Award support packages of up to £750 for partners or members of Cultural Education Partnerships (CEPs) in the East Midlands, who want to deliver the Arts Award qualification for the first time or want to develop their Arts Award provision further.

We would like applications to demonstrate a focus on the sustainability of the environment and/or developing the digital. Applications can include either or both focuses identified. Examples of projects could include exploring outdoor or recyclable art, natural or found objects or the development of digital art skills for example.

This is open to any Young People’s setting that are partners of any of the following CEPs: UNLOCK (Northampton/Shire), The City Classroom (Leicester/Shire), DCEP (Derby City), Black Shale (Amber Valley and Bolsover), Captivate (Mansfield and Ashfield), ChalleNGe (Nottingham City), Chesterfield CEP and Lincolnshire CEP. Young People settings include any of the following: schools, colleges, formal educational settings, youth organisations, cultural venues and community organisations.

On this occasion, the Start Up Packages are not available to the lead organisations of CEPs. However, lead organisations can support partners with their applications to kick-start their Arts Award delivery.

Prior to sending your application, we would highly encourage you to arrange a pre-application phone call with either Laura Bates or Kevin Tennant (contactable initially by email at artsalliances@mightycreatives.streamstudio2.co.uk). This provides an opportunity for you to discuss your Arts Award plans for the project in your proposal.
