Culture fund applications open

The OIC is calling for applications to its culture fund for local arts, heritage and Orkney dialect projects.

Thirty projects were funded last year through the fund, with awards ranging from £80 to £3,000. Organisations which deliver cultural programmes in Orkney can apply for support towards running costs.

This year, there is £29,000 available to assist projects planned for the 2014-15 financial year.

Applications close on January 20, 2014, and full criteria are available here.
