BRITISH TEXTILE BIENNIAL

Taking place every two years across East Lancashire in public spaces, galleries & historic buildings, the British Textile Biennial commissions artists to make & present work in the context of the area. The festival is underpinned by a year-round programme of research, residencies & community engagement projects.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker and there are significant future grants due to be received
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
