Chamber Fund Will Support City of Culture Legacy Chamber Vice President Phil Ascough outlines our big City of Culture initiative. Chamber Members throughout the Hull and Humber region will get the opportunity to support the arts and culture sector through a new venture which will be launched in 2017. The Chamber Culture Fund will invite bids from arts and culture practitioners and projects and will make annual cash awards to help their development and delivery. The awards panel will also provide mentoring and advice to promote sustainability of projects. Details of the project will be announced early in 2017 to mark Hullâs year as the UK City of Culture and the Chamberâs 180th anniversary. The aim is that the first awards will be made in the autumn of 2017. They will be repeated annually until the Chamberâs 200th year in 2036â37. The 20-year timescale underlines the importance of the City of Culture legacy and ties in with such major long term projects as the redevelopment of Hull New Theatre, the Ferens art gallery and the public realm. But the awards will not be limited to Hull. Bids will be invited from across the Hull and Humber area, reflecting the Chamberâs own footprint. Funds will be generated from the Chamberâs investments by stockbrokers Redmayne Bentley, whose expertise also supports our Henry Samman Fund. The amounts awarded will therefore depend on the return on those investments, but we will also urge businesses to put their own mark on the project through sponsorship. All donations will be welcome and will be recognised in the publicity for the project. Bids will be considered on merit by a panel which I will chair and which will include former Chamber President Julian Wild and art and culture consultants Elaine Burke and Clare Huby, who have worked on projects including Larkin with Toads and the Amy Johnson Festival. Details of the timescales for bidding, the number of awards and their likely value and the criteria for assessing applications will be revealed in the coming months.
