“We are looking to fund a number of small commissions for forward-looking, contemporary artistic ideas, from any art form, that will develop audiences and participants in the borough.

“We are encouraging people who want to work in partnership with us to inspire and engage Doncaster people through art and culture, to apply for funding.”

The summer and winter festivals, in Doncaster centre, will provide exciting cultural experiences .

“We encourage applicants to respond to the theme, based around space, technology and science. We want the festival to be as playful and participatory as possible,” added Sally.
