Eligibility Criteria
- The funding programme supports scholarship, academic research and the dissemination of knowledge in the fields of British art and architectural history, and of British visual culture understood more broadly, from the medieval period to the present day. All supported events must have a clear art-historical perspective, including those that focus on recent or contemporary artistic practice. All applications must demonstrate that British art, architecture or visual culture provides a substantial focus for their event. Applications will be assessed according to their academic rigour, originality, and contribution to scholarship. They do not fund events focusing on archaeology, current architecture practice, or the performing arts.
- Event Support Grants are open to institutional applicants only, applications for collaborative events are permitted yet one of the institutions must be nominated as the lead for the Grant administration.
