Wellcome Trust Arts Awards
- Wellcome Trust.
- Several awards each year.
- Two types of award. Up to and including £40,000 for small-to-medium sized projects projects – delivery of small-scale productions, investigation of new methods, development of new collaborations. Above £40,000 for large projects – significant productions that will have high levels of impact.
- Applicants must live and work in the UK or Republic of Ireland and are usually affiliated to third-party organisations (e.g. galleries). Collaborative projects are welcomed. Projects should involve the creation of new artistic work and must have some biomedical scientific input.
- Scheme aims to stimulate interest, excitement and debate about biomedical science through the arts.
- Slightly different application process for small and large projects. The former requires a written form that is assessed on merit and need by a funding committee. Initial applications for large grants are assessed by the Arts Awards Advisory Panel, which then invites successful applicants to develop a full proposal.
