Grants of up to £10,000 are available to support new cultural activity taking place between October and December 2025 in either Portland or Weymouth.
Are you an artist, community group, or cultural organisation with bold ideas for Weymouth or Portland?
Portland and Weymouth Towns of Culture invites applications for ‘Reveal’, an open call for projects that shine a light on creativity in our town and on our isle! Grants of up to £10,000 are available to support new cultural activity taking place between October and December 2025 in either Portland or Weymouth.
We’re looking for projects that excite, engage, and inspire – whether that’s a performance, artwork, event, or creative happening in a public space. We hope to fund between 3 to 5 projects.
To apply, your project must:
- Involve two or more partners – individuals or organisations working together to deliver new cultural activity.
- Reach new audiences in Portland and/or Weymouth – get creative about who you connect with and how.
- Embody Environmental Responsibility – from planning to delivery, show how your work cares for the planet.
- Be inclusive and accessible – designed with and for diverse communities, welcoming everyone to take part.
This is your chance to be part of a major cultural moment for our towns – revealing untold stories, making space for imagination, and bringing people together through creativity.
