Extant is delighted that on 1 July the success of our application for Arts Council England National Portfolio funding 2015-18 was announced.  

This investment will enable the company to continue and expand its unique work in professionally supporting the emergence of new visually impaired talent, producing world class performance innovation and delivering training for the sector.

Maria Oshodi, Artistic Director, said:

“This support endorses the value of visually impaired people’s enriching perspective on the world, and the creative space Extant holds in bringing this contribution to the arts.”

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Arts Council England, our creative partners, stakeholders, artists and trustees in helping to maintain the company and realise its exciting ambitions in what we realise are very difficult economic times.

Full details of the Arts Council's 2015-18 National Porfolio available at their website which includes downloadable data of all organisations funded (see 'Get the facts and figures' section).
