Thank you for expressing an interest in applying for funding from the Jersey Arts Trust.

We invest in the arts in Jersey by making grants available to organisations and individuals in order to allow them to complete their work or to achieve an artistic result in an area which they are specifically involved in.

Our Aims:

• To increase resources available to the arts.
• To develop and improve the knowledge, understanding and practice of the arts and crafts.
• To invest in the creative talent of our Island.
• To increase the accessibility of the arts and crafts.
• To support excellence, new ideas and creativity.

Our grants are for individuals, arts organisations and other people who are involved in the arts in either amateur of professional capacities. They are for activities that benefit people in Jersey or that help the people in the Island who use the arts in their day-to-day work.
