grant giving

The two beneficiaries of the Arts Society’s Community Grant for 2025 are The Evesham Tapestry and the Worcestershire Open Studios project.

The grant has been partially allocated to support the initial cost of publicity (£90) for The Evesham Tapestry. This has resulted in a leaflet explaining the tapestry’s history and subject matter, with a mention of our society’s contribution.

Sandra Capaldi provided a fascinating talk on the evolution of the tapestry; and we hope to support the Tapestry’s future displays, including Worcester Cathedral, especially as the Bayeux Tapestry will be visiting the UK next year. (See also under Community Projects)

We are also delighted to be supporting this year’s Worcestershire Open Studios alongside Malvern Hills and AS Worcester (£150).

The combined logo will be included in all promotional material reaching those interested in the arts, especially in our catchment area. There are 75 participating artists in 34 venues, providing considerable publicity whilst supporting our local artists.
