Frequency Festival, Lincoln’s biennial celebration of digital culture, will return for a fourth edition in 2017 thanks to a major grant award from Arts Council England.
Arts Council England this week (Thursday 2nd March 2017) announced funding of £165,000 through its National Lottery funded Grants for the Arts programme to support Frequency 2017, a 10-day programme of arts events which will take place from 20 – 29th October 2017 during Autumn Half Term.
Frequency is brought to Lincoln through an established relationship between Threshold Studios, an artist-led creative media and visual arts organisation specialising in the production of digital, moving image and public realm works; the University of Lincoln, Lincoln BIG, Visit Lincoln and Lincolnshire One Venues, alongside many other organisations and businesses across the city. In 2017 Frequency will also be working with the Woodland Trust and regional and national partner organisations on activities celebrating the 800th anniversary of the Charter of the Forest.
Darren Henley, Chief Executive of Arts Council England, announced the grant award for this year’s Frequency Festival as he addressed an audience from across the region’s arts, culture and tourism sectors at the Lincoln Culture and Arts Partnership Conference, supported by Visit Lincoln and Lincoln BIG and staged at the University of Lincoln. Other high profile speakers at the conference included Lady Cobham, Chair of Visit England.
