Hello all, Just a quick email about a funding opportunity for supporting curatorial development from the Art Fund - please see below. Apologies for cross-posting All the best, Paolo ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Emma Coleman <[log in to unmask]> Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2018 at 10:55 Subject: New curatorial opportunity from Art Fund To: Paolo Viscardi <[log in to unmask]> Dear Paolo, I hope this finds you well. As our main contact for NatSCA I wanted to let you know about a new funding programme we have just launched, *Headley Fellowships with Art Fund*. It’s part of our ongoing initiative to encourage the development of UK collections expertise, and intends to give curators – especially those based in smaller or regional museums – the time and resource to work with focused areas of their collections, deepening expertise within their museum and sharing specialist knowledge both with the public and across the sector. I hope you can circulate this information to your network to make sure they are aware of this exciting new opportunity. The programme is open to mid-career and senior curators, and those with curatorial responsibility, and practically will give curators time away from their day-to-day responsibilities to embark on a bespoke period of research and development. Headley Fellowships with Art Fund aim to encourage the production of ambitious and high-quality museum projects which have collections at their core, while investing in museums across the UK and their curators, helping them to realise exceptional ideas for communicating with a spectrum of audiences. We’re particularly excited to be able to offer this opportunity to curators working with *any kind* of museum collection, from fine art and social history to archaeology and natural history. Full details on the aims and scope of the scheme can be found at https://www.artfund.org/headley. Applications are open now with a deadline of 15 October. We’re incredibly excited about this programme and the opportunity it offers for curators and their museums, and I would be grateful if you could help us spread the word. If you would like to share details of the opportunity on Twitter, we are using the hashtag #HeadleyFellowships, and I have shared some example tweets at the end of this email. I also attach an image which can be used. If you or a colleague would like to talk more about this programme please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me. Best wishes, Emma *Example tweets:* If you're a curator looking to pursue an ambitious, collections-based project, a #HeadleyFellowship could give you the time & resources you need.
