The Wellcome Trust Arts Awards

The Wellcome Trust is inviting organisations and individuals to apply for funding through its Arts Awards. The Arts Awards support projects that engage the public with biomedical science through the arts including dance, drama, performance arts, visual arts, music, film, craft, photography, creative writing or digital media. Applications are invited for projects up to £30,000. The aim of the awards is to support arts projects that reach new audiences which may not traditionally be interested in science and provide new ways of thinking about the social, cultural and ethical issues around contemporary science. The scheme is open to a wide range of people including, among others; Artists; Scientists; curators; filmmakers; writers; producers; directors; academics; science communicators; teachers; arts workers; education officers.

For small to medium-sized projects (up to and including £30 000) the deadline for applications is 29th January 2010.

Decisions will be made approximately three months after the deadline.

For large projects (over £30, 000) the next deadline is January 2010.
