Delivered as part of TEG’s year-long Preparing to Borrow programme, supported by Arts Council England, the National Museum Directors’ Council, the Art Fund and TESS Demountable, the workshops support participants to acquire the knowledge and confidence to make an application to borrow an object or exhibition.
It is an interactive session, based on problem solving and discussion, covering:
The benefits of borrowing
Researching suitable objects and exhibitions for loan and hire
Making a case to borrow
Communicating with lenders
Loan applications
Fees and contracts
Sources of funding
Scheduling
Transportation
Facilities reports
Government Indemnity and commercial insurance
Security
Emergency planning
Each workshop is delivered by a TEG trainer, William Brown, National Security Advisor, and a member of the Art Fund team, who will introduce their forthcoming funding initiative, the Weston Loan Programme. The training encourages networking, and provides the opportunity to meet colleagues from other organisations who are looking to borrow and find partners.
Ten travel bursaries are available for each workshop, up to the value of £30. If you would like to apply for a bursary, or if you have any questions about the workshop or the Preparing to Borrow programme, email Charlotte Dew
