ACE announces National Portfolio arts organisations for 2018-22
Howard Lake | 27 June 2017 | News
Arts Council England today reveals its new National Portfolio organisations for 2018-22. The announcement will be streamed live at 10.30, and available as a recording afterwards.
These arts organisations will share an annual budget of £409 million between 2018-22. This includes £341 million of grant-in-aid and £68 million of National Lottery funding.
The National Portfolio funding agreement has been extended from three years to four, “giving organisations more time to plan, develop and create great work”.
Three funding streams from ACE
In the new four year period an additional £37 million will be spent each year, compared to the 2015-18 period, helping to support:
- a 4% increase in the proportion of the National Portfolio organisations budget spent outside London;
- the integration of museums and libraries, for arts and museums’ activity into the portfolio;
- bringing new, small and diverse organisations into the portfolio.
In this period, museums, arts organisations and libraries were able for the first time to apply for National Portfolio investment. Libraries could only apply for arts and museums activity.
The live NPO announcement will include a press conference including four speakers and a Q&A. It should last for an hour.
You can also view the live announcement in BSL.
