Priorities
Performing Arts: priorities for music, theatre and dance are:
Excellence in professional performance;
The production and performance of new work;
The development of young, professional artists aged 18 or over.
They aim to achieve a broad balance between music, theatre, and dance projects and take into account the number and location of the audiences and/or individuals likely to benefit.
Conservation
They support the conservation of historic objects, collections and features of buildings and designed landscapes that are pre-Victorian in date, i.e. pre-1830s.
In the case of churches, they will consider supporting the conservation of items such as monuments, wall paintings, stained glass, and historic furniture and fittings.
They prefer to give grants to smaller projects, or specific elements of projects, where our contribution can have a greater impact.
Projects may include conservation surveys and preventive measures as well as remedial work, and they will consider grants towards the acquisition of items for collections.
