    The fund is committed to helping artists and art institutions/galleries that depart from the routine and signal new, distinct and imaginative sets of possibilities.

    Priority is given to artists in the fine arts and small organisations and galleries who should submit well argued, imaginative proposals for making or producing new work or exhibitions.

    Fund award sizes

    Annually awarded: £38,460

    Notes on award amounts:

    Grants have usually been limited to £2,000, but with the recent addition of the Shelagh Wakely Bequest some larger grants of up to £5,000 may be awarded.

    Annual total and average to institutions from 2023 accounts. Most awards were between £2,000 - 3,000.
