Arts Development Partnership Funding 2003/04 and 2004/05
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 partnership funding from groups planning to organise arts projects for Hampshire residents.
1.2 A wide range of project proposals have been received during 2003/04. Publicity has sought to attract applications involving the priority art forms 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 Prospective festival grant applicants were invited to apply in November to enable them to plan ahead with some certainty over their funding and to ensure that Hampshire County Council funding is credited in the advance publicity. The details provided by the applicants for festival support are included in Appendix 2 prefixed F.
1.4 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
2.1 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 for 2003/04 and 2004/05
3.1 The base budget of £67,000 for arts project funding in 2003/04 has been fully spent. Further funding has been set aside within the Recreation and Heritage budget following the previous Decision Day to be used in response to subsequent requests for arts project partnership funding. It is proposed that £1,450 is used to support the recommendations within this report.
3.2 The budget for 2004/05 has not yet been determined but this report assumes that Festival funding is the same level as this year at £11,000 which again is supplemented with a further £10,000 of funding from the Economic Development budget. The indicative budget allocation for next year excluding funding from Economic Development is as follows:

Festival Partnership Funding |

Total |
67,000 |
3.3 A financial summary for 2004/05 is shown in Appendix 1 again showing a standstill budget based on that which operated in 2003/04.
4. Project Partnership Funding
4.1 The applications for the support of arts projects are listed in Appendix 2 and include specific requests for £1,200. Funding recommendations totalling £1,200 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 Two For One Award Scheme
5.1 An application for £250 has 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 a full matching amount be allocated to the application due to the great success of this scheme in attracting other revenue funding for the arts.
6 Festival Partnership Funding
6.1 It will be noted from the summary in Appendix 2 that applications have been received from twelve festival organisations. Having assessed the strength of the applications, festivals to the value of £19,850 have been identified that could be supported. The financial details for next year's budget are found in the attached Appendix 1. The recommendations are based on the expectation that the budget for the year 2004/05 will be at least the same as for the current year. This is also true of the funding of £10,000 contained within the Policy and Resources budget for the Economic Strategy for the Arts. Confirmation of these figures will be forthcoming in the new year. It is recommended that these allocations are confirmed as having first call on the partnership funding budget and, therefore, can be confirmed after this decision. Additional festival partnership funding applications are expected later in the year. The papers in the Appendix show details of all applications and they are prefixed with the letter F. It should be noted that funds are not released to festival organisations until satisfactory accounts for the previous year are received.
Recommendation
That the partnership funding awards recommended in this report be approved.

Winchester Hat Fair is Britain's longest running festival of street theatre, celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2004 and is one of the largest, most accessible events in the country reaching an increasingly large audience. The festival will take place from 1 to 4 July 2004 in Winchester city centre and includes visual art, craft, music, cabaret, dance and circus as well as street theatre. This year the festival aims to expand its work with young people. It will be developing and expanding the programme of schools workshops in which children develop work to be processed during Schools' Day and will also be working with young people to produce seven street plays to be performed throughout the festival, as well as working with King Alfred's College to produce a film based project for the festival. The festival is also developing links with companies in Poland and Catalonia, bringing international work to Winchester and will be launching an outside theatre for performing normally venue based theatre, dance and cinema in an accessible outdoor space.
