3.0     FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

3.1     Borders Art Development C.I.C

         There had been circulated copies of an application for Financial Assistance from the Border Arts Development C.I.C which was established to promote visual arts and creativity from, and within the Scottish Borders.  The Borders Arts Fair held annually at Springwood Park was their flagship and gave local creative practitioners and galleries the opportunity to increase their businesses at an event large enough to attract visitors to the area.  Last year the Royal Scottish Academy had loaned works of art from their collection which formed the basis of an exhibition in Kelso Town House during the Borders Art Fair.  It was hoped to continue to build on this success and the links with the town in 2020, by hosting another exhibition in the town centre to coincide with the Borders Art Fair.  It was hoped to co-host an exhibition with Alchemy Film and Arts, whose award-winning moving image productions cross the boundaries from traditional art into digital art, which would be off particular interest to younger generations, who they were keen to engage with.  The application in the sum of £2,510 was for funds to help with transport, staffing, venue hire and insurance of the exhibition at the Town House together with the cost of a shuttle bus.  The Sub-Committee were of the opinion that it was not appropriate to contribute to a Borders wide event and agreed to refuse the application. 

 

          DECISION

AGREED to refuse the application submitted by the Border Arts Development C.I.C as it was a Borders wide Event and that other funding sources be identified.
