Grants for the arts and the archives sector Photo: Benedict Johnson

Grants for the arts welcomes applications from archives services and bodies for arts-specific projects. Projects can: help arts and culture reach more people and engage a broader audience provide innovative opportunities for artists to create work in new settings and inspired by a range of subject matters maximise different (ever decreasing) sources of funding, resources and assets by working across sectors The approach

Historical collections We focus on supporting contemporary art and developing/promoting work of living artists We cannot support exhibitions or activities relating to historic collections alone (ie not involving contemporary artistic work) We encourage applications which link contemporary art with collections, for example: o exhibitions showing contemporary art alongside historic work o new artistic commissions, residencies and exhibitions responding to historical collections o acquiring new contemporary work which has a strong dialogue with historic collections

Grants for the arts would not be able to fund: Historic or non-art acquisitions Collections management Conservation projects Touring/exhibitions of historic collections and/or objects …where there is no evidence of clear contemporary arts activity

Grants for the arts and archives: Case studies

Case study: Diamond Street app The Diamond Street app takes users on a walk – real or virtual – in and around the jewellery quarter of Hatton Garden in London. Part new media experience, part walking tour, this location-based app is a fusion of text, event, short film, image, play and real time experience. It offers a new, rich way to engage with the story of a fascinating area.

Case study: Diamond Street app Users follow a route within the boundaries of the original Hatton Garden estate, immersed in the atmosphere, history and stories of specific locations by GPS-activated sounds, images, film and text. Archive material (oral history, maps, photographs, contemporary documents, etc) is used in an artistically-motivated way to create narrative.

Diamond Street app: Key points Using historical material as source texts and data for artistic response and interpretation Presenting archival material in an artistic context Bringing the historical and the contemporary into dialogue Working in partnership with specialists in each element of the project

Case study: Artist in residence, Record Office £10,000 Derbyshire County Council’s Archives and Local Studies Manager applied to us for support towards a series of collaborative creative interventions within the Derbyshire Records Office. The activity would form part of Derbyshire County Council's £4m transformation of the record office and local studies library. The aims of the activity were: to build new audiences for the service, to integrate artistic work into the service’s ongoing building refurbishment, and to build on its successful artist in residence programme.

Case study: Artist in residence, Record Office Outputs of the project: creative interventions within the Record Office building development of an interactive trail leading audiences from the town centre to the building formation of a focus group and community engagement activities a commission from the Derbyshire poet laureate responding to the building a series of tours and workshops with local artists to encourage artistic engagement with the Record Office’s collections The artist will also work with the furniture designers for the building refurb to bring an artistic perspective to fitting out the new space.

Case study: Artist in residence, Records Office Somewhere in this building on an old map, a ladder climbs quietly into the arms of an apple-tree. Once a man stood on that ladder. Where is he? I want to know him, he comes from Then but must still live Here, among these records, frayed books and letters writ in goose quill. Matt Black © 2013 Derbyshire Poet Laureate Matt Black was commissioned to write a new poem in response to the Record Office’s collections. His poem, ‘Somewhere in this building’ is inspired by a 1722 map held by the record office:
