Great news for arts and culture in Liverpool! Thanks to Liverpool City Council and Culture Liverpool for their continued support. We're lucky to live in this city :)

Liverpool City Council is to extend its flagship Culture and Arts Investment Programme (CAIP) for a further 12 months, ensuring continued support for the city’s vibrant cultural sector through to March 2027.

A report to last night’s Cabinet (16 September) outlines the need to extend the current three-year cycle for an additional year, requiring one-off funding of £2.245million. Following engagement with the 29 arts organisations it funds, the Council recognises the financial pressures many are facing, including rising costs and reduced reserves, and the extension will help safeguard the sector while a more strategic and inclusive approach to future funding is developed.

Adding another 12 months to the funding agreement will bring it in line with timescales for Arts Council England’s funding cycle, making it easier for the city’s cultural sector to plan strategically. The decision is now subject to final budget approval in March 2026.

The additional time will also allow for the development of a refreshed CAIP process - which will be informed by the Arts Council England review, the UK Government’s Spending Review, and proposed devolution changes. It will also align with the brand new Liverpool Culture Strategy which is set to be unveiled later this year.

Since its launch in 2023, CAIP has delivered significant impact:
· Generating around £33 million in economic value to the local economy
· Supporting over 4,000 jobs
· Attracting over 3.4 million attendances in 2023/24 alone.

Projections for 2025/26 suggest the 29 funded organisations will generate nearly £41 million in turnover and deliver more than 12,000 events citywide.

The funded organisations are:

20 STORIES HIGH, Africa Oyé, BlackFest Ltd, The Bluecoat, Collective Encounters, The Comedy Trust, DaDa Fest, FACT Liverpool, First Take, The Florence Institute Trust (The Florrie), Homotopia, Liverpool Arab Arts Festival, Liverpool Biennial of Contemporary Art, Liverpool Irish Festival, LMTT Everyman and Playhouse, One Latin Culture Ltd - trading as Luma Creations, Metal Culture,

Milap, Open Eye Gallery, Pagoda Arts, Royal Court Liverpool Trust Ltd, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Society, Squash Liverpool CIC, Tate Liverpool, Tmesis Theatre, Unity Theatre, Writing on the Wall, Melt, Sole Rebel.
