 Arts Enter the Dragons Den
Arts & Business are holding two Dragons Den style events called “Art of the Pitch” to promote the Scottish Government funded CashBack for Communities grant scheme. The first event will be held at the City Halls, Glasgow on Monday 1st December with the second being held in Aberdeen in early 2009.
The matching grant scheme is aimed specifically at encouraging business sponsorship of arts activities to help divert young people from becoming involved in crime and anti-social behaviour. The funding comes from the CashBack for Communities initiative which uses money seized from criminals to provide free activities for 10-19 year olds throughout Scotland. The deadline for applications is Wednesday 1st October. Interested organisations should visit http://www.AandB.org.uk/Scotland or call 0131 220 2499.
