37 (9) ARTS DEVELOPMENT GRANT AID – The Service Director Asset Management and Culture submitted a report seeking approval for grant aid from the Arts Development Scheme.
Insight was a voluntary sector group that managed the annual open studio event that took place across North and North East Lincolnshire. Insight allowed artists to open up their homes or studios to members of the public over two weekends in September. In 2008 it was estimated that 43 visual artists and 11 organisations would take part in the event including 33 artists and six organisations being from North Lincolnshire.
Artists were able to sell their work. In 2007 over £8,000 of work was sold over four days. As part of the event Insight offered artists the opportunity to have three pieces of their work professionally photographed. These photographs were then printed in a full colour brochure. 5000 brochures were then distributed regionally.
A Public Relations and Marketing consultant was contracted to work with the artists involved in Insight to maximise positive press opportunities.
Resolved – That a grant of £990 in support to Insight be approved
