Overview

Freelands Foundation works to broaden access to art education and the visual arts across the UK. Through their education programmes, they work with teachers and educators to develop diverse and ambitious approaches to art education and support teaching as artistic practice. Each year, we identify a thematic funding focus within visual arts education.

The Autumn 2023 Fund invites applications for grants of £50k–£150k per year for up to three years from visual arts organisations with bold and innovative programmes that build collaborative relationships between schools and visual art organisations through projects that centre teachers within creative approaches to art education. They are looking for projects that centre teachers in creative approaches to art education that inspire and engage young people.

If your organisation is interested, all the guidance and forms are available to download from their website. They have video and audio application alternatives.

They are accepting Expressions of Interest from 11 September – 20 November 2023
