Thurrock Arts Council

Description

Thurrock Arts Council was formed in 1960 by the Thurrock Urban District Council to provide an umbrella organisation for all the arts groups in Thurrock. TAC is a democratic organisation that has administered grant funding on behalf of Thurrock Council and other funders in Thurrock.

 

Associate Membership is free and open to any group, organisation, or individual by application to the executive committee. After a year as an associate member, full membership may be awarded, and constituted organisations can apply for funding.
