Crafts Council launches major new funding initiative, 'The Fifty: Fifty Programme'

Arts Council of Wales,
25 November 2008, Wales

The Crafts Council is delighted to announce the launch of a major new initiative, The Fifty:Fifty Programme. This new collaborative exhibition scheme seeks organisations to work with the Crafts Council to develop ambitious and challenging exhibitions.

The Crafts Council wishes to work with UK based galleries and venues to co-curate and deliver partnership exhibitions. Funds, ideas and resources will be joined and shared equally on a fifty:fifty basis. This new initiative seeks to develop projects that are match funded by the Crafts Council, with the equal contribution being a maximum of £50,000 (across two financial years.)

The Crafts Council are looking for a partner that can offer:
* a project team
* match funding
* a venue/display location
* a learning and support programme

Different approaches to partnership will be dictated by the selection of the partner and the resources they have in place.
