Art looking at community and social interaction set to be funded in Doncaster
and live on Freeview channel 276
Doncaster Creates, the program focused on people led regeneration through great art, have today (June 4) launched an open call to give creative people from across the borough a chance to bid for money.
They can ask for between £500 and £1500, to develop projects working within local communities highlighting how people have adapted to changes and can help in creating a brighter future.

Doncaster Creates welcomes proposals that are a ‘remix’ of existing materials, places or situations, re-imagines our place in the world, give voice, vision or space to previously unheard or underrepresented viewpoints such as, young people, those who might not normally take part in arts or creative activities and demonstrate how can we build a new sustainable model.
Doncaster Creates executive director Juliet Farrar said: “Over the past nine weeks we have seen some of the best in human response: communities and total strangers pulling together, selfless contributions to reach those who would not otherwise be reached - the smallest kindnesses having major impact.
"We want this to be an opportunity to shine a spotlight on hidden skills that are often undervalued – our local creative sector plays a critical role in Doncaster life.
