BOURNEMOUTH Arts by the Sea Festival has opened applications for their tenth anniversary event which celebrates art, people, culture and place.
The festival takes place from Friday 25 to Sunday 27 September 2020.
Funding streams of £5,000 will be allocated to 'exceptional outdoor commissions', with a variety of projects costing up to £500 also being supported.
