THREE organisations in Scarborough are celebrating after securing Arts Council funding for the next three years beginning 2012/13.

The funding, which was announced yesterday, has been made available for the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Crescent Arts and the National Student Drama Festival.

Crescent Arts will receive £70,000 each year, which is 58 per cent up on last time.

Director Stuart Cameron said: “It’s really the difference between us being able to survive in the long term or not.

“It’s a huge vote of confidence in what we’re doing here.”

He added that he believes Scarborough as a whole had done very well for arts funding, saying: “It absolutely demonstrates a recognition of what is happening with the arts in Scarborough and the fact that they want to keep that going.”

The money will go towards supporting and promoting contemporary visual arts in Scarborough and beyond.
