Re-imaging Communities

The Re-imaging Communities Programme is a pilot programme that places artists in the heart of communities to work with local people to tackle visible signs of sectarianism and racism to create a more welcoming environment for everyone.

When it launched in July 2006, the programme aimed to deliver 60 to 80 community-based projects within three years, with a spend of £3million. This number of projects has been surpassed by 25 percent. 109 projects have been funded, helping to restore pride to local neighbourhoods and moving Northern Ireland towards a normal, inclusive and stable society.

The Arts Council would encourage any groups whose project preparations are at a reasonably advanced stage, but who have not yet made a formal application for a Re-imaging grant, to contact the Re-imaging team at the Arts Council. The Arts Council may be able to assist such groups in the development of their applications in anticipation of securing renewed funding for the Re-imaging Communities Programme.

For further advice, contact the Re-Imaging Communities Programme team on Tel: 028 9038 5200

The new deadline for applications for the Re-imaging Communities Programme is 29th March at 4pm.
