Henry Moore Grants, administered by the Henry Moore Foundation, support the growth and development of sculpture across historical, modern and contemporary contexts. The programme welcomes UK and international projects that advance the study, presentation and care of sculpture. Supported work includes exhibitions, exhibition catalogues, commissions, acquisitions, conservation, collection cataloguing and display, conferences, lectures and non-commercial publications.
The programme also supports extended research projects requiring funding for more than one year, such as permanent collection catalogues. Individual sculpture historians, academics and conservators can seek Research and Travel funding for research and publication on sculpture conservation, production, history and interpretation. Exhibition and commission projects should encourage new thinking about sculpture or sculpture history, or contribute to public awareness and appreciation.
