Description
The Paul Mellon Centre’s Event Support Grants help organisations share research on British art, visual culture and architecture with varied audiences. Supported formats include lectures, conferences, workshops, gallery talks, symposia and seminars, delivered live, online or in hybrid form. Film screenings and artistic performances may qualify when accompanied by research-based talks or presentations. The intended outcome is an event, public programme or similar form of research dissemination contributing to the wider British art field.
The programme supports practical delivery and accessibility costs. Its priorities include academically rigorous, original and timely work with lasting scholarly value. The Centre also considers previously unsupported geographical or cultural contexts, underrepresented voices, broader audience reach, the need for funding, feasibility, value for money and environmental impact.
