Exeter “place-based cultural solutions” vehicle Creative Arc is seeking final round funding proposals for city “innovation projects” that “create tangible, meaningful interventions” and can be delivered between October and March for less than £10,000.
Creative Arc is a joint two-year Exeter City Council and University of Exeter programme that explores “solutions to society’s most pressing challenges” while promoting the Liveable Exeter property development programme.
£171,000 of its £321,000 budget relies on money from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, a domestic replacement for the European Structural and Investment Fund programme.
£120,000 is allocated to three rounds of funding after university staffing and “design thinking facilitation” costs are covered.
City council development director Ian Collinson sits on its steering group.
