is within the Hull city boundary and open to the general public

serves an identified interest group

increases the range of art opportunities available to local communities

supports and celebrates cultural diversity

promotes innovation and excellence

Details of the grants scheme and the online form can be found on the Hull City Council website here.


Grants to Arts has supported Create and Express, a Social Action initiative, to run music workshops engaging members of the local culturally diverse communities and other stakeholders to empower them to have an open discussion about COVID19 mental health related issues. 

These workshops will provide inspiration for the participating musicians to create their own project compositions, leading onto them composing, recording and mixing in their own native languages, highlighting the issues discussed.

The songs will then be recorded, mixed and mastered by hired producers and engineers at the Create and Express recording studio and the music compilation will be launched with live performances at Welcome House Refugees Centre, providing the opportunity to raise awareness and at the same time, showcase their work and develop their artistic profile. Their work will also be  shared through their online platforms.  As a development from previous work Create and Express will be working with new artists from Somalia and a band from the Hull Sudanese community.

Check out their website for more information.  This project has also been funded by Comic Relief.
