Arts Development Partnership Funding 2002/03
Report of the Director of Recreation and Heritage
Contact: Michael Fuller Ext: 6016
1. Introduction
1.1 This report presents details of applications received for project, programme and two for one partnership funding from groups planning to organise arts projects for Hampshire residents.
1.2 A wide range of project proposals have been received for 2002/03. Publicity has sought to attract applications involving the priority artforms namely visual arts, crafts, literature and lens based media. The full list of applications received is attached in Appendix 2 supported by the budgets provided by each applicant with details of funding from other bodies where relevant. In each case the local member has been consulted and no specific issues have been raised.
1.3 The County Council continues to run the Two For One Award Scheme, a very successful initiative that fosters a positive relationship between business and the arts as well as making the grant funding stretch further. The scheme works by matching new sponsorships valued between £200 and £500 and provides a useful incentive to arts organisations to find more sponsors. This also encourages more local businesses to sponsor the arts in Hampshire. Applications for this scheme are detailed in Appendix 3.
2. Legal Implications
The County Council is able to utilise broad powers under the Local Government Act 1972 to provide financial support for the arts. In particular, Section 145 of the Act enables the Council to contribute towards the expenses of doing anything necessary or expedient for any of a number of purposes, including the provision of entertainment of any nature, or the provision of a theatre, concert hall, dance hall or other premises suitable for entertainment. The powers include the ability to contribute towards the expenses of maintaining a band or orchestra, and towards the development and improvement of the knowledge, understanding and practice of the arts.
3. Financial Details
3.1 The base budget of £68,600 for 2002/03 is allocated as follows:
£
Project Partnership Funding |
21,300 |
Festival Partnership Funding |
11,300 |
Annual Programme Partnership Funding |
26,000 |
Two for One Partnership Funding |
10,000 |
Total |
68,600 |
3.2 A financial summary is shown in Appendix 1. Prior to this meeting an overall sum of £8,300 is available for distribution.
4. Project Partnership Funding
4.1 The applications for the support of arts projects are listed in Appendix 2 and include specific requests for £7,473 together with unspecified requests from applicants relating to projects with a deficit of £2,675. Funding recommendations totalling £2,600 are proposed as set out in Appendix 2. The papers in the Appendix show details of all applications and they are prefixed with the letter A. Local Members have been consulted on these applications.
5. Annual Programme Partnership Funding
5.1 Organisations which present a programme of arts activities over the year and would therefore be eligible for funding for different aspects of their programme are invited to make an application for the larger Programme Partnership Funding. They are usually significant arts providers in the county though not on the general scale of those on the revenue list where the county council imposes greater burdens of reporting and monitoring. The application from Horndean for this year's programme has been delayed.
5.2 The Programme Partnership Funding application in Appendix 2 is prefixed with the letter P. This application requests a grant of £4,000. A recommendation of £3,000 has been made.
5 Two For One Award Scheme
5.1 Applications totalling £750 have been received and the details of these are shown in Appendix 3. These awards can be made retrospectively for arts events where an organisation has attracted first time sponsorship from a company. It is recommended that full matching amounts be made to the applications due to the great success of this scheme in attracting other revenue funding for the arts.
Recommendation
That the awards recommended in this report be approved.
