Syndicate: An example of small scale funding

[lisa@lisa.demon.co.uk (Lisa Haskel)]

Andreas,
please forward the following to the list.  ta!  lx



 
 This posting was circulated with the statement "Artists resident 
 outside of England are not eligible to apply". However, I would like 
 to add that applications from England-based publishers or visual arts 
 organisations that involve artists usually resident outside of England 
 *could* be eligible for this scheme. I can be contacted at the Arts 
 Council for a further discussion.
 
 Anybody interested receiving the full details for this, or any 
 other Arts Council of England grant schemes, either as a potential 
 applicant, partner or just for information is welcome to contact me on:
