Overview

The annual Freelands Award was established in 2016 to enable arts organisations to present an exhibition, including significant new work, by a mid-career woman artist who may not yet have received the public recognition that their work deserves.

The Freelands Art Fund Acquisition enables museums and public collections to acquire work by Freelands Award-winning women artists. Through bolstering contemporary collections in the UK, this initiative increases public access to work by women artists and brokers new relationships between artists, organisations, museums and their audiences.

They are launching an open call for museums and public collections interested in acquiring work by Jacqueline Poncelet.

What they can fund

When the programme is open, you can complete your expression of interest and submit it directly to Ying Tan, Senior Programmes Manager, Acquisitions.
As a part of the expression of interest process applicants are asked to make an indicative suggestion of which work(s) they wish to acquire.
Museums can consider acquiring any existing work by the artist, including but not limited to works exhibited at the award exhibition.
The Freelands Award-winning commissioning organisations are eligible to apply, on the condition that they have a public collection.
Applications for joint acquisitions can be considered.
Applicants can acquire more than one work, as long as their proposal remains within the allocated budget (£60,000).

Who can apply

They will consider applications from public museums, galleries, historic houses, libraries and archives based anywhere in the UK that are:

Open for at least half the week for at least six months of the year.
Fully accredited through the Arts Council Accreditation Scheme or other national equivalents.

Most organisations we support will hold collections, which may include fine and applied art and design, archaeology and/or social history. They will also be committed to delivering activity that increases public access to these collections, which has public benefit and aligns with Art Fund’s charitable objectives.

All grant recipients will be asked to sign their terms and conditions.
