FY25 Local Priorities
l. The Leicester Arts Council does not fund travel, food, or beverage expenses.
2. Program quality and benefit to the community are major considerations in all grant decisions.
3. The LAC gives priority to well-planned, locally generated applications, to applications with letters of community support, and to applications with pre-scheduled venues.
4. The LAC encourages applicants to provide information: press releases, brochures, letters of support. Maximum three pages.
FY25 Local Guidelines
The purpose of the Leicester Arts Council (LAC) is to support enriching public programs for our community in the arts, humanities, and interpretive sciences that promote access, education, diversity, and excellence.
Local grant funds should add to existing programs and not be used to replace existing funds.
The LAC encourages applicants to seek funding from various sources rather than rely solely on council funding for projects.
Application forms are available online. If you have any questions about filling out the application, contact an LAC member for help.
Applicants will be logged in order of receipt by the LAC, and applications will be checked to make sure they are complete. When possible, applicants will be notified of deficiencies.
