The funding body has promised an upfront payment of 50% of the total grant value offered to help stabilise key organisations in the wake of the devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the arts sector.
ACNI have stated that they will be flexible with clients regarding how funding is deployed and used this year while organisations strive to maintain liquidity and create the inspirational work we all need in this situation.
ACNI have also announced an Artist’s Emergency Programme which is currently being designed to support individual artists and freelancers in response to the pressures of Covid-19. We will announce full details on this fund once we know more.
