Arts Council England is investing £4.3m of National Lottery funding in 45 arts organisations aiming to enhance diversity in the cultural sector through its Elevate programme.
“Supporting and nurturing diverse talent is a crucial priority for the Arts Council” said Abid Hussain, ACE’s dir4ctor of diversity. “Through Elevate we are investing in an exciting pipeline of diverse organisations that make a vital contribution to the country’s cultural provision, empowering under-represented voices.”
Diverse-led organisations were asked to apply for money from the Elevate fund, originally with a ceiling of £3m which was raised because of the quality of applications, Hussain said.
