The Arts Council announces two clinics for applicants to the Festival Investment Scheme 2023.

Returning applicants to the scheme should attend one of the two clinics which will set out changes to both the application form and applicant guidance. There will also be opportunity for the clinic participants to ask questions. New applicants to the Festival Investment Scheme are also recommended to attend.
