Arts Council: Rural Engagement Arts Programme Evaluation
The Arts Council has published an evaluation of Round 2 of its Rural Engagement Arts Programme. REAP was launched in August 2022 to provide grants for one-off projects or a programme of events in rural areas. The strategic objectives were to tackle isolation and loneliness, and to promote social inclusion and wellbeing through participation in the arts for those living in rural communities. Round 2 of REAP saw £400,326 awarded to 63 organisations across Northern Ireland.
