St Hughes Foundation Arts Awards

St Hughes Foundation Arts Awards

deadline: 3 May 2010


The St Hugh’s Foundation has released details of its new Arts Awards programme starting this year, 2010.

From its inception in 1992, the Foundation has encouraged and supported a large number of new projects proposed by both individual arts practitioners and by local authorities and other arts organisations. Many individual artists, performers and arts workers have benefited from opportunities to develop their experience in ways that have helped to change their horizons and expand their careers. Unlike some public sources of arts support, the St Hugh’s Foundation is able to consider innovative proposals focusing on personal development in the arts, including, where appropriate, foreign travel and research.

Criteria in brief:
• A new Arts Awards programme available to both individual applicants and organisations.
• Extended personal and public developmental arts projects of up to three years.
• Potential to extend funding and other support over that period.
• Successful applicants working in partnership with the Foundation.
• Applicants must be living and working in Lincolnshire or the Humber areas

The Foundation wants to invest in developmental creative projects that will evolve and grow over time. They should help to address regional needs for innovation and change in arts practice, policy or management. Projects will need to be well-conceived, carefully planned and well-managed to secure support, which could be between £12,000 and £15,000 spread over a period of up to three years.

Completed applications must be submitted by 3 May 2010, but anyone thinking of applying should download the information from the Foundation’s website as early as possible at www.sthughsfoundation.co.uk
