Grant Scheme Arts for Rutland is committed to supporting new arts projects and initiatives across the county. One of the ways we can do this is through our Arts for Rutland Grant Scheme. Money can be applied for by groups and individuals to run Arts projects, performances, gain more skills and help towards costs of materials and equipment.

Equipment Arts for Rutland has equipment that can be used to support cultural events in Rutland.  The equipment is free to use but it must be booked at least a week in advance, and collected from Rutland County Museum during opening hours.
