The arts grant scheme

We recognise the value of the arts and aim to support artists and organisations to develop high quality arts events within the borough. To that end, the Arts Grants scheme is for arts activities or projects which are undertaken within the boundaries of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and demonstrate that they meet at least two of its strategic objectives.

There will be a large demand on this fund, so unfortunately not all applications will be successful. We advise you to speak to an officer from the Arts Service prior to making an application.

Please carefully read Grants scheme criteria before completing an application form. This page includes details on what we will and will not fund, as well as detailed instructions on how to complete the form.
