Community arts broker programme

About community arts brokers 

Some local board areas have community arts brokers. These are local experts who help creatives and community groups bring projects to life. 

Community arts brokers support creative projects in several ways. They also manage dedicated funds that support creative projects that benefit the community.

How community arts brokers can help 

Brokers offer: 

• access to dedicated local funding
• guidance with funding applications
• support for planning projects before you begin
• connections to spaces, materials, other artists and opportunities you might not find on your own.

How the programme supports community wellbeing 

The community arts broker programme supports community wellbeing by:

• helping people connect
• building local leadership
• helping people take part in accessible creative projects.
