“We had some incredible submissions to our fund, which is now in its second year. Our specific remit is to support those projects that are smaller and will have real benefit to the city. Our arts and culture sector is such a vibrant aspect of life in this city and we see that it brings a great benefit, not just to participants and audiences, but the wider city economy.”
