Arts Activity Funding 2008/09 and Business Partnership Funding 2007/8
Report of the Director of Recreation and Heritage
Contact: Janet Mein Ext: 5468 e-mail: [email protected]
1. Introduction
1.1 This report presents details of applications received for Arts Activity funding in the financial year 2008/09. It also seeks approval for two Business Partnership Awards for the year 2007/8
1.2 Prospective grant applicants for 2008/09 were invited to apply for this Decision Day for activity in Summer 2007, thus enabling them to plan ahead with some certainty over their funding position and to ensure that Hampshire County Council funding is credited in this advance publicity.
1.3 This is the second year using the revised grant application process. In brief this new scheme combines applications for Festival, Programme and Project Partnership Funding and has two application deadlines.
1.4 In the first round of the new application process in 2007/8 the scheme was heavily over subscribed. The second round was not. This has not happened in 2008/9. However it may be that some organisations are `hedging their bets' and holding their applications for the second round.
1.5 As arts and community organisations do not always know when they apply to the Council for funding whether their Business Partnerships are confirmed some organisations can only apply between the rounds. Two such applications have been received and these are brought forward for approval for allocation from the 2007/08 budget. This is an aspect of the new procedure that needs some review in order to make this process more effective.
2. Recommendations
That the awards recommended in this report be approved.

3. Legal Implications
3.1 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 development and improvement of the knowledge, understanding and practice of the arts.
4. Financial Details for 2008/09
4.1 The initial base budget for 2008/9 is £110,000. The forward budgets are currently being planned. It is expected that funding will be available for the recommended awards, but final allocation will be conditional until the budget is confirmed. This sum is derived from the budget allocation from previous years and adjusted to include balances released from the revenue funding stream as a result of the redefinition of the revenue funding threshold.
4.2 It should be noted that contribution towards festival funding is made by Economic Development in the sum of £10,000.
4.3 The financial details of the budget are found in Appendix 1. Confirmation of the budget for 2008/9 will be forthcoming in the new year. It is recommended that these allocations are confirmed as having first call on the Funding budget and can therefore be confirmed after this decision. The papers in Appendix 2 show details of all applications.
5. Arts Activity Funding
5.1 Forty three applications for funding in this round for 2008/09 were received adding up to requests totalling £154,522.
5.2 Applications for Arts Activity funding fall into the following categories
· Programme Activity - professional venues providing high quality activity in the community, there are 3 organisations in this category.
· Professional Arts organisations - 7 Professional organisations have applied for activity funding.
· Festivals - a range of festivals promoted by both community and professional organisations, there are 15 applications for festival activity.
· Community Activity - there are 16 applications that fall into this category.
· Open Arts - there are 2 applications that fall into this category.
5.3 Funds to festival and programme applicants are not released until satisfactory accounts for the previous year (where appropriate) are received.
5.4 The applicants contribution to the County Council's Corporate, Cultural and Arts Strategy has been highlighted in the details of Appendix 2. Principally the activity for which grant aid is sought enhances the quality of place through the creation of locally distinctive and diverse events and activities which maintain and improve the quality of life in active communities.
5.5 Appendix 3 lists funding over the last three years to these applicants.
6. Impact Assessment
6.1 No groups or organisations should be excluded from any benefit arising from these decisions. A new application procedure has been introduced, this procedure does include equalities monitoring information as agreed as part of the corporate review of grants programmes and procedures.

Arts Activity Grant 08/09 Round 1
Reference: 1917 08092464
Category: Festival
Organisation: Gosport and Fareham Easter Festival
Activity title: Gosport and Fareham Easter Festival
Local Member: Cllr Knight, Cllr Price, Cllr Woodward, Cllr Hockley, Cllr Bryant, Cllr Evans, Cllr Wright, Cllr Edgar, Cllr Gill & Cllr Ellis
Comments from Local Member
Comment from Cllr Knight: "That in the case of this request owing to past experience I would only support assistance on the basis that the organiser undertakes to provide for inspection within (say) three months of the event, all paperwork for the receipts and payments for the entire event in support of the claim for assistance"
Councillor Woodward does not support this application. It is felt by Councillor Woodward that the event has been running for years and should no longer need support, Councillor Woodward feels that "all grants should be for "pump priming" to enable, in time, the event to stand alone so money can be used to support other new projects.
Councillor Ellis has commented "this type of event should be supported in the first three years or so and then become self sufficient. This should be achievable if there is considerable public support. My real feeling is that we should not grant support at all after all these years, but if we do support at least reduce the grant to no more than £2000 maximum this year and give a warning that this is a special consideration and will be further curtailed if a further grant application is made next year*." * This is an excerpt from the full comment. The full comment is available at request.
Cllr Bryant has commented: "I was under the impression that the policy adopted by Cllr Waddington when Chairman of R&H was that Art's events would only be supported for 3 years to get them off the ground. Why are we still supporting this festival which has been going for 10 years or so? Is it not time it was standing on its own feet. I therefore do not support a grant."

Organisation: Wickham Festival
Activity title: Wickham Festival
Local Member: Cllr Allgood
Comments from Local Member
Local member recognises that grants are important for local events organised by local people but feels that Wickham festival has become a national event and therefore feels that a national event such as Wickham festival should be able to stand on its own two feet.

The young people will create dance performances and focus on creating dance that is inspired and the finished product will be debuted and screened in site specific venues. New Moves is an open access dance group.
Activity date: 09/08 - 09/09 Activity venue: Havant Arts Centre
Corporate Priorities
This project maximises wellbeing. Havant is an area of deprivation and an area which arts provision
can make a difference. Motion will enable young people to learn new skills and encourage them to
explore. Motion also promotes a healthier life style.

Comments:
The New Forest Open Studios is supported through the website developed as part of SHIPS
partnership and funded by the joint investment fund. The group has the capacity to self fund the
event as has been done in previous years. However, as the group states that it runs educational workshops, the Arts Service will contact the group to discuss this element of the programme. It may be that this element would be eligible for funding.

Activity description
Open Studios West Berkshire and North Hampshire was initiated in 1988. The idea was then and
continues to be one which seeks to raise the profile of the visual arts by introducing members of the
public to artists ideas and working methods. The benefits are reciprocal, the scheme helps towards the development of artists and members of the public gain a new awareness, good use of leisure time and possible new career paths to follow. Central to the scheme is a directory of artists which gives artists' statements, studio opening times and maps. 'Insight 2008' an exhibition at New Forest Arts is seminal.

Corporate Priorities
