Our Aims

“Hostility to the arts is also hostility to the new, to the unforeseen”
Robert Bresson from his ‘Notes on the Cinematographer’

The Foundation provides small grants (up to £1,000) to artists working in experimental music making, visual and performance work. Grants could be used for research & development, travel bursaries or renting studio space, for example. The Foundation operates through a closed peer nomination scheme rather than an open application process. Each year the Foundation appoints a new group of independent nominators to identify potential recipients.
