Museum Development North West

A session to support galleries, historic houses and museums to learn about The Great Escape and the grant funding available to support you.

About this event<a href="https://www.artfund.org/pages/the-great-escape" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Great Escape</a> is a major new participatory project from Art Fund that will engage children with the UK’s natural environment, drawing inspiration from the art and objects in museums and the creative and learning opportunities they can offer. It will bring schools and families into museum and gallery spaces as well as historic houses, inviting primary school children aged 7-11 to explore the animals in their collections and create stories and pictures that imagine a creature’s journey to a future habitat rich in biodiversity. The things they make in the classroom, online and in museums will be brought together in a collective work of art, unveiled during a weekend of activities for all ages on Earth Day 2023 (Saturday 22nd April).<a href="https://mduk.org.uk" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Museum Development England</a> is working in partnership with <a href="https://www.artfund.org" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Art Fund </a>to distribute grant funding to support publicly accessible museums, galleries, and historic houses to deliver activity as part of The Great Escape.T﻿his briefing session will support galleries, historic houses and museums to learn about:<ul><li>T﻿he Great Escape project</li><li>T﻿he funding available to support your participation in The Great Escape including eligibility, grants available, scheme dates etc.,</li><li>T﻿op tips to consider when writing your grant application</li></ul>Participants will also have the opportunity to ask their questions direct to the funder.W﻿ho should attend?S﻿taff or volunteers based at galleries, historic houses and museums in England interested in participating in The Great Escape.How will this session be delivered and what equipment do I need?This session will be delivered online using Zoom a cloud based video conferencing service.
