This could include:
- Creative activities across any art form that use co-creation to work with target groups or communities
- Opportunities for people to engage with any art form with a community focus
- Projects around local identity and/or heritage that bring the community together
In addition to the available budget, projects will receive regular support from Made With Many staff for marketing, delivering and evaluating the project.
Eligibility
The Cultivate Programme will commission projects that are costed between £1000 and £4000 and include artistic, creative or cultural activity based in Corby.
