Description
These grants support organisations in delivering events—such as conferences, lectures, workshops, symposia, and seminars—that disseminate academic research on British art, architecture, and visual culture. Funding is intended to cover a broad range of event-related expenses, including venue hire, accessibility provisions, speaker fees, staff costs, and online event hosting. The program encourages originality, academic rigor, and broad inclusion, aiming to foster impactful public programming and research engagement. Both standalone events and dedicated series are eligible, provided they are not part of regular programming.
