The new Creative East Devon Fund provides much needed financial support to cultural organisations and creatives across East Devon.
14 projects were successful with individual grants ranging from £800 up to £3,000. The inspiring new projects range from outdoor dance theatre, creative film documentaries and festivals, to museum displays, workshops for d/Deaf and Special Educational Needs young people, live spoken word events and creative writing workshops.
The total funding amounted to £31,869 and the projects will all be completed by Spring 2024.
