Culture Micro-commissions

This fund closed 1 December 2025 - thank you to everyone who applied this year.

The Micro-commissions programme gave awards of up to £1000 to support Wandsworth based creatives to create new artworks during the London Borough of Culture year.

With a straightforward application process and light-touch reporting, the aim was to pilot new ways of supporting the borough’s cultural sector and to nurture local talent.

These micro-commissions were open to Wandsworth based creatives only. Successful awards were inspired by ideas around the theme of health and happiness.
