A dozen arts organisations are set to share nearly £1 million in council grants over the next three years, it’s been announced.
In all, £939,982 will be shared between Brighter Sound, the Castlefield Gallery, Community Arts North West, Contact theatre, Hope Mill Theatre and Manchester Histories. Also benefiting are Manchester Jazz Festival, Manchester Jewish Museum, Manchester Literature Festival, Odd Arts, Reform Radio, and Venture Arts.
The grants have been awarded by Manchester City Council, which invited organisations to bid for a slice of the funding pie. Bosses believe that the city will see a return on its investment, with Manchester's cultural organisations generating an estimated economic impact of £213.2 million in 201/22.
