The Art Fund programme aims to help curators working with fine and applied art collections maintain and develop their specialist knowledge and expertise. The programme is open to curators who work across the full range of fine and applied art collections in museums and galleries that hold at least provisional accreditation and are open to the public. Applications may include requests to support:

travel and accommodation
training courses/programmes of study
books and subscriptions to add to a museum’s research resources or library
translation, transcription and other similar services; etc.

The Art Fund will consider funding requests for a minimum of £200. There are two categories of grant:

One up to £2000
The other above £2000.

Applications can be submitted at any time.
