Open Eye Gallery awarded CAIP funding lifeline
We are delighted to announce that Open Eye Gallery has received a funding lifeline intended to boost the local economy.
£2.712 million has been awarded to 27 cultural organisations in Liverpool as part of the Culture & Arts Investment Programme (CAIP). The city council funding will be invested in theatre, music events, festivals, visual arts and neighbourhood programmes that are representative of, and engage with, Liverpool’s diverse communities.
This will allow Open Eye Gallery to continue our work supporting Socially Engaged Photographers and photography groups and networks within the Liverpool City Region, as well as continuing to provide exhibitions and events to the public.
We would like to thank Culture Liverpool, Liverpool City Council for the continued support, and say congratulations to our friends in other cultural organisations across the region who have also received CAIP funding.
Those organisations receiving funding for 2022/23 are:
20 Stories High, Africa Oyé, The Black-E, Collective Encounters, Comedy Trust, DaDa Disability & Deaf Arts, FACT, First Take, Homotopia, Liverpool Irish Festival, Liverpool Biennial, Everyman & Playhouse (LMTT), Liverpool Arabic Arts Festival, Metal Culture, Milapfestival Trust, Merseyside Dance initiative, Open Culture, Open Eye Limited, Pagoda Arts, Royal Court Theatre, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, Squash Nutrition, Tate Liverpool, The Bluecoat, Tmesis Theatre, Unity Theatre, Writing on the Wall
The CAIP programme contributes to a number of priorities outlined in the Council Plan which aims to make the city culturally diverse, internationally ambitious, empowered and authentic.
