Arts investment programme and Devon Arts Match
The County Council opened its arts investment programme in 2007. After an open bidding process 14 organisations were offered investment in their resources for the three years 2007-10. Most of these organisations received further investment in the following three years, 2010-13. You can download the budget for the programme here

The arts investment programme will close at the end of March 2013. The Council is developing proposals to introduce new commissions for arts activity across the county from April 2013.
The Devon Arts Match scheme aims to stimulate an increase in regular giving by members of the public to local arts organisations.
