Arts in East Herts
Over this time, individual artists and crafts people as well as arts organisations will showcase the rich artistic and cultural tapestry of East Herts through exhibitions, performances and workshops, delivered under the Arts in East Herts umbrella.
Over 40 arts organisations - from the visual and performing arts and artisan crafts through to galleries, museums and heritage sites - have already registered to take part.
Those who registered before Monday 29 April were able to apply for financial support of up to £1,000 to help fund a one-off event or a series of taster sessions, performances or other activities. Funding applications are currently being processed and applicants will be notified by Friday, 16 June whether their application was successful or not.
Although the deadline for funding applications has now passed, arts organisations and individuals involved in the cultural life of East Herts can still register to take part by emailing communications@eastherts.gov.uk
All organisations registered to take part in the Arts in East Herts showcase will have access to downloadable marketing resources to help them promote what they are doing. This will be available from mid June.

The funding for Arts in East Herts is being provided by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund which is part of the government’s levelling up agenda.
The priorities for the projects to be delivered are:
- Provide interactive activities where people can get actively involved
- Actively encourage new people to get involved in arts and cultural activities
- Provide activities on more than one occasion during the Showcase Event
- Offer at least some activities at no cost to participants
- Enable young people to be directly involved
- Provide a route for people to remain involved in your activity or project after the Showcase Event
