Island of Culture 2014 - funding opportunities

05 Mar 2013


Island of Culture 2014 will be the largest cultural celebration in the history of the Isle of Man. Spread over twelve months, it is designed to celebrate the extensive and varied artistic and cultural life we enjoy here. It will give everyone in the Isle of Man a chance to be part of our rich cultural life and inspire creativity across all forms of culture, especially among young people. Events during 2014 will be a chance for people to celebrate our Island of Culture through dance, music, theatre, the visual arts and literature, cultural festivals, fi lm and digital innovation, and leave a lasting legacy for creativity and the arts on the Isle of Man. If you/your organisation would like to be a part of this exciting event, please email Jan Cowan for an appropriate funding application form. It should be returned to the IOM Arts Council at the very latest three months before the date your event is scheduled to commence. There are opportunities to work with local schools during 2014, too - the IOM Arts Council is looking for a really vibrant dynamic year with lots of community outreach. It’s your turn to get involved and make it your Island of Culture!
