CULTURE RESET is a practical rapid response programme to inspire more relevant and impactful cultural organisations and practices.
Born out of the devastating impact of Covid-19 and inspired by the urgent need to accelerate change and respond to the experiences of a broader diversity of people, it will provide expert support and dynamic stimulus for 192 arts and cultural producers, makers and directors across the UK.
Deadline for applications: 5pm on Thursday 9 July

Were looking to recruit cultural workers who care about the wider sector in which they work, and who want to play a part in its transformation. This is about supporting a fundamental reset, and were looking to support a movement that contributes to that change.
Participation is funded by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation (UK Branch) and open to the full range of the cultural sector. We want to hear from arts producers, museum and gallery curators, theatre makers, artistic directors, festival producers, library managers, literary editors, musicians, visual artists, choreographers, composers, writers anyone with the agency to commission and create cultural experiences.
A total of 192 funded places are available (thank you Gulbenkian Foundation) valued at £500 each plus access support for anyone requiring additional support to take part.
We are particularly keen to receive applications from people working outside of major urban centres, from those from or working with under-represented communities, from creatives and producers of colour, from people working in contexts beyond the formal, or with artists and forms that are outside of the scope of funded activity, and from disabled and D/deaf creatives.
Applicants may be furloughed, freelance, currently unemployed or working full or part time within an organisation.
