Government Funding for Outside-In, UK
Nigel Kingsbury
The Arts Council of England has announced it is awarding £400,000 over fours years to the newly formed Outside In charity currently based at Pallant House Gallery in Chichester, UK.
Outside In provides a platform for artists who find it difficult to access the art world due to health, disability, isolation or social circumstance. Outside In was founded in 2006 as the flagship outreach project for Pallant House Gallery in Chichester and will now be an independent charity with project founder Marc Steene as Director.
Outside In will be able to continue to expand its programme of activity which to date has engaged with more than 6,000 artists, 200 partner organisations and reached an audience of 267,000 nationally and internationally. Outside In is the largest charity of its kind in the UK and its work has seen transformative effects on many artists’ lives.
