Grants are available to artists in the visual arts, small organisations and galleries within the UK to make it possible for artists and those presenting their work to undertake and complete projects when frustrated by lack of funds. Grants are usually limited to £2,000, but larger grants up to £5,000 may be considered. The Trustees’ main objective is to support new work.
The Trust aims to make it possible for artists and those presenting their work to undertake and complete projects when frustrated by lack of funds. It is committed to helping artists and art institutions and galleries that depart from the routine and signal new, distinct and imaginative sets of possibilities.
The next deadlines for applications are 17 June 2019 and 14 October 2019. There are normally four deadlines each year.
All applications should be submitted by post (email applications are not accepted). There is no application form but a set of guidelines and a downloadable cover sheet can be found on the Trust’s website (http://www.elephanttrust.org.uk/).
Groups that have not heard within six weeks of the application deadline can assume that their application has not been successful.
