TEN projects will receive funding as part of the Open Call for Ideas for the Acton and Park Royal Creative Enterprise Zone (CEZ).
Open Call was developed by Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation in partnership with Ealing Council.
More than £150,000 of funds will help provide affordable community space and developing creative talent.
The successful projects represent the diversity of Acton and Park Royal, with 82% of the projects being run by minority ethnic, female, LGBTQIA and disabled-led organisations.
The ten are:

Bollo Brook Youth Centre: working with young people to produce a film about the area’s tea houses and creativity
A LOOK INTO: Ten-month workshop programme on accessing the film industry
Form and Beyond: curating the first-of-its-kind market event that will promote goods, services and materials to the community.
W3 Hive: Pop-ups, events, talks and workshops to promote Acton and Park Royal
ARTification and Pati Starzykowski: creation of two public art installations
Hikayetna (meaning Our Story): hosting Park Royal Nights events for storytelling, poetry and music
