New creative funding opportunity

We are inviting local arts and community groups to apply for £1,500 funding to produce a creative response to the work of artist Manuel Bonifacio.

The opportunity is part of a partnership with Riverhouse Barn Arts Centre and Artventure Trust, ahead of an exhibition of Manuel Bonifacio’s work in March 2027. 

Successful applicants will create new work inspired by the artist, with the chance to showcase it publicly at Riverhouse Barn. 

Projects can take any creative form, including visual arts, performance, music, film or poetry. 

We’re especially keen to hear ideas that bring people together, involve your local community, and can be shared with others alongside the exhibition.

The selected work is expected to be ready for presentation in March 2027. 

Who can apply

We’re inviting applications from not-for-profit community groups or organisations based in Elmbridge.

How to apply

To apply, please email details of your organisation, your project idea, your experience of community work, and a proposed budget and timeline.

Deadline: Monday 20 July 2026, 9am.
