Free session by the Arts Council England South West team introducing the National Lottery Project Grants application process, with one-to-ones to book.
Arts Council England's South West team will be at the Barnfield Theatre on Wednesday 4 November, starting at 2:00 PM, for an introduction to the National Lottery Project Grants. It's a session aimed at people new to the grants and the application process, so if you've been thinking about applying but aren't sure where to start, this is the place to get your bearings. The session includes one-to-ones, which you have to book in advance, so if you're planning to go, it's worth sorting that part early.
The session is part of Elevate, Exeter Northcott's artist development programme, which is run by the charity Exeter Northcott at the Barnfield Theatre. It grew out of the Futures Programme and is built around free membership for South West artists, which opens up a fair few things: press nights, social events, commissions, new-work platforms, training and continuous professional development, and a literary support strand for writers. There's also free rehearsal space, up to six Associate Company slots, a relaunched Young Creatives group, and an Artist Assembly that gives freelancers a say in the theatre's direction.

Beyond the membership, the festival commissions new writing through Elevate Shorts and stages work by regional companies like Red Clay Theatre and Highwall Theatre, a graduate company founded in 2014, alongside a Scratch Night run with Exeter Phoenix. This Arts Council session fits into that broader picture of supporting artists in the region, and it's free to attend. It runs at 2:00 PM on Wednesday 4 November at the Barnfield Theatre in Exeter.
