My department is also making available a further £50,000 for Laganside events grants scheme and £50,000 to support the community activity events grant scheme.
"Today marks the opening of the application process for this year’s fund and I would encourage organisations interested in organising arts and cultural events which will contribute to the regeneration of the Laganside area, to come forward and apply for funding.
