Hello,
We are excited to announce that Art Fund are today launching two new funding schemes, together with the second round of Headley Fellowships with Art Fund. Please find details of all schemes below; we would be extremely grateful if you could circulate these opportunities to your networks.
Conservation grants
Art Fund is always looking for new ways to support museums, and last year we began making grants to cover conservation – including work that allowed Artemisia Gentileschi’s Self Portrait as Saint Catherine of Alexandria to recently tour the UK in her full glory before settling in at the National Gallery. Now we are pleased to open a dedicated scheme of conservation grants to help safeguard the future of more artworks in collections across the country.
Small project grants
We want to help museums, galleries and other visual arts organisations realise adventurous projects across a range of activities to benefit their audiences. Today we launch our small project grants, which provide funds for museums to trial new ideas and take more creative risks, with grants of up to £10,000 available to back projects of all kinds.
Headley Fellowships with Art Fund
Now in their second year, the Headley Fellowships with Art Fund free up time for curators to carry out research into their collections by providing funding for their posts to be backfilled. The scheme is part of our ongoing initiative to encourage the development of UK collections expertise and the sharing of specialist knowledge both with the public and across the sector.
If you or a colleague would like to talk more about these programmes, please let us know.
Best wishes,
Eleanor, Emma and Rob
