Amazing news: we've been awarded Elevate funding!

We’re thrilled to finally share the news that we’ve been awarded Elevate funding from Arts Council England. The next two years are going to be incredibly exciting, read below to find out more about what we have planned!

Arts Council England’s Elevate programme has invested in 45 organisations which are not in recipient of National Portfolio funding to strengthen the resilience of diverse organisations. Ad Infinitum are one of three companies in the South West to receive the funding, which will enable us to diversify our board of Trustees, expand our national and international network of partners, and develop digital resources for schools, colleges and universities around our work. We will be working with Bristol Old Vic, Birmingham Hippodrome, Complicité, Gecko, Graeae, Kneehigh and Deafinitely Theatre.

Following our work with D/deaf artists for productions including Light and Extraordinary Wall [of Silence] (touring 22 Jan – 22 Feb), we will also be designing a new programme for D/deaf directors which will be launched in 2022. We will be working with D/deaf artists over the next two years to research, design and create a platform that will enable D/deaf directors to flourish.

“We are thrilled to support Ad Infinitum through our Elevate funding programme, with thanks to the National Lottery. Their inclusive work enables a greater number of people to experience the great benefits that cultural activity can bring. After previously supporting Ad Infinitum’s brilliant work with diverse audiences, we are now extremely pleased that this Elevate funding will help their organisation to grow and develop long-term organisational resilience.”
