Applications are now open for the Author Grants (Small) offered to individuals to support image reproduction costs for authors seeking to publish a short-form written piece (e.g. an article or chapter) on the subject of British art or architectural history in a scholarly journal or publication.
Scope
- Author Grants (Small) are intended to make possible short-form written pieces (e.g. articles, chapters, essays etc.) on the subject of British art and architecture which would otherwise not appear, or which would appear in reduced specification.
- A maximum grant of £1,000 is available for a short-form written piece to be published online or in print by a scholarly journal or publication. This grant can go towards supporting the following costs:
- licensing of images, reproduction and copyright costs
- commissioning of new photography
- commissioning of graphics
Funding Information
- A maximum of £1,000 will be paid as a lump sum directly to the individual. Only one grant application can be made per individual.
Eligibility Criteria
- The PMC funding programme supports research, educational activities and the dissemination of knowledge in the fields of British art and architectural history, from the medieval period to the present day and across the spectrum of relevant geographical and cultural contexts. Their remit is broadly defined and adapts as the interests of those working in their field change. It encompasses art made in Britain or by British artists, but is not solely limited to art made, or artists from, within the geographical boundaries of the British Isles. Rather they understand the field of British art studies to encompass a broad range of subjects and topics related to the artistic and cultural histories of Britain, past and present.
- They do not offer grants and fellowships in field archaeology, the current practice of architecture or the performing arts. Applications in the fields of photography, performance, film and digital media will need to demonstrate their relevance to British art studies.
- Only applications from individuals concerning the publication of an article or short-form written piece on the subject of British art and architecture will be considered for this award.
- The written piece should be ready to publish within two years from January 2025. The PMC does not make any retrospective awards for pieces already published nor will it accept applications for funding for pieces due to be published before the end of 2024.
