Lincoln Creates
A fund to support new creative art projects in Lincoln City Centre
About Lincoln Creates
Lincoln Creates has been made possible with some of the money raised from the public auction of the Lincoln Imps in 2021 and a £20,000 contribution from Lincoln BIG. Lincoln Creates is managed by Lincoln BIG and supported by partners, including local arts organisations.
The fund aims to encourage artists and businesses to work together on visual art projects which will make Lincoln City Centre a more vibrant place to live, work or visit. Art projects can take the form of murals, sculptures, installations created using different materials and processes. Art projects can receive funding of up to 100% with grants available of between £500-£5,000 towards their project.
