East Street Arts

East Street Arts (ESA) was established in 1993 when two artists couldn't find the support and infrastructure they needed to develop their art practice. ESA have worked to secure better livelihoods for artists and their neighbours and address issues of economic and commercial decline in towns and cities.

Catalytic capital
Is investment capital that is patient, risk-tolerant, concessionary, and flexible and is an approach used to support impact-driven enterprises that lack access to capital on suitable terms and to unlock impact and additional investment that would not otherwise be possible.
Base rate
This is sometimes called the ‘Bank of England base rate’ or ‘Bank Rate’. It sets the level of interest all other banks charge borrowers and its purpose is to help regulate inflation. Some social investors set their interest rates relative to this rate of interest e.g. base rate + 2%.
