The Take Art Seed Fund
We're pleased to launch a new seed fund for theatre and dance artists and companies. Its purpose is to help the dance and theatre sectors in Somerset to grow.
The fund, although modest, is still an important way in which we want to support and encourage Somerset dance and theatre makers. It has been made possible by Somerset County Council's Creative Industries Fund and the first deadline for applications is Thursday 10 November 2011.

"Personally I what I got from Made in Somerset 2011 was the inspiration and passion to come back to Somerset to make theatre again one day soon."
