You've got a great idea and you want to see if FEAST
can help you bring it to life.
FEAST invests in projects that either create new opportunities for more people in Cornwall to enjoy high quality arts events as audiences or develop new participatory arts opportunities that grow confidence in participants’ own creativity. Some projects achieve both. All projects strengthen communities by initiating new opportunities for people to enjoy being together and sharing experiences.
All projects must meet FEAST’s four Core Criteria:
Quality and the ability to excite
An innovative approach to developing new audiences and involving as wide a range of people of all ages and backgrounds as possible
Value for money
Contribution to a network of knowledge and promotion across the FEAST programme so that the whole becomes more than the sum of its parts
We expect projects to meet some of the following Additional Criteria:
- Distribute excellent cultural activity across the dispersed settlements of Cornwall
- Address issues arising from lack of venues and access, particularly in the North and East
- Cultivate local cultural leadership and leave a legacy of skills, confidence and enthusiasm
- Link the creative sector and community led cultural and celebratory activity ( to bring sustainability, excitement and high production values to community events )
- Add value to programmes already being delivered by cultural sector organisations
- Develop new professional collaborations or new models of working to help make your creative business more resilient
- Partner with other sectors, for example the health sector or police, to offer a creative way of engaging with social, economic or environmental issues facing Cornwall.
- Draw in additional funding
- Become sustainable long term or create additional opportunities for communities once the project itself is over
- Engage with issues that resonate with Cornwall.
