In April 2004 a key funding opportunity was announced by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport. This was the launch of the Urban Cultural Programme, a fund of £15 million lottery funding (£10m from the Millennium Commission and £5m from the Arts Council). Bids were invited from consortia in urban areas that included a local authority partner. The fledgling Arts Commission was seen as the ideal consortium to apply from Brighton & Hove. The steering group set up to establish the role and remit of the Arts Commission, was asked to divert its attention sharply to overseeing the creation of a bid for funding within the space of 4-6 weeks. The bid was submitted and at the end of July 2004 Brighton and Hove was announced as one of the successful bidders to this fund. The bid was awarded a grant of £750k, half the amount applied for.
