Poet in the City, a poetry organisation specialising in promoting poetry to new audiences, becomes one of the new organisations to receive National Portfolio Funding for the period 2012-15.
Renato Labi, Chair of Poet in the City, said this:
'Poet in the City is delighted to have been offered National Portfolio Funding by Arts Council England. This is a recognition of the charity's bold and ambitious programming of events and its great success at attracting new audiences to poetry. It is also, I believe, a reflection of the contribution made by Graham Henderson, the charity's dynamic and entrepreneurial Chief Executive, who has grown and developed the charity over the last 5 years, helped by a combination of grant funding from ACE and regular corporate and in-kind sponsorship. National Portfolio Funding will allow the charity to build upon this remarkable success and to plan its programmes with confidence over the next four years. As well as being good news for Poet in the City, I believe that this also represents great news for poetry as an art form, which is experiencing a long overdue revival'.
Poet in the City is an exciting and innovative venture philanthropy charity committed to attracting new audiences to poetry, making new connections for poetry and raising money to support poetry education.
Specialising in organising high-profile poetry events with leading corporate sponsors and creative partners, Poet in the City is one the UK's fastest growing arts organisations.
