Arts Activity Funding 2008/09

Report of the Director of Recreation and Heritage

1. Introduction

1.1 This report presents details of applications received for Arts Activity funding in the financial year 2008/09.

1.2 Prospective grant applicants for 2008/09 were invited to apply for this Decision Day for activity in Winter 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. The second round has, again, not been heavily subscribed to this year and this suggests a review of the way the process is working for the 2009/10 year.

      2. Recommendations

        That the awards recommended in this report be approved.

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.

      Comments from Local Member

      Activity description

      The week long festival includes choral, orchestral, youth and invitation concerts. Subject to

      confirmation, participants will include singers and instrumentalists from youth groups, five local

    amateur choral societies. There will also be a celebrity event (artist to be confirmed). The festival is an established feature of the cultural life of Petersfield and the surrounding area. It brings to the town a wide range of high-standard musical performances. We strongly believe that being involved in such live music events, as participants or observer, brings a sense of belonging and cohesion to the whole community. The policy is to keep ticket prices affordable for the local community. As a result the festival cannot cover all its costs through the box office.

          Activity date: 13 - 21 March 2009 Activity venue: Petersfield Festival Hall

      Corporate Priorities

      We try to appeal to as wide a part of the community as possible by providing a range of different

      entertainments in festival week. The festival enhances the areas reputation as a good place to live,

      work and do business.

      Activity description

      We aim to bring London/international calibre artists to perform in our Parish Church of St Luke's

      Grayshott. On 1st November 2008, we have persuaded the acclaimed Chloe Hanslip, a locally born, 20

    year old international violin virtuoso, to come to Grayshot together with the famous London Mozart Players, to perform Vivaldi's beautiful 'Four Seasons' for us. This is an ambitious project, but we have managed to raise funds from business sponsorship, contributions from 'friends of Grayshott Concerts', profits on bar, catering and programme sales and ticket revenue. We are very reluctant to raise ticket prices

    - we would love everyone to hear her.

      Artscape is applying for a grant that contributes towards the cost of 11 Art Workshops (out of the

    projects that involve community participation and urban histories. We use disused shop spaces, street based interventions, interactive media, text, performance and photography to create interaction with and in response to local residents and the immediate urban environment. We map and collect evidence of every day life and our creative methods enable people of all ages and cultures to share their ideas, feelings, stories and memories. Interaction with people and the places in which they live is key to our work. We would propose to use the Cornershop as a base to create co-authored artworks around the theme of people, community, identity, place.
