The Leeds Cultural Investment Programme (LCIP) replaces the arts@leeds and Leeds Inspired funding schemes. It builds on the strengths of these long-running programmes and offers both project (one-off) funding and revenue (ongoing) funding for creative individuals and organisations.

Funding offered reflects Leeds City Council’s significant and ongoing commitment to culture and creativity in the city and is a key Beyond 2023 programme – a legacy of LEEDS 2023.
