A new partnership between Art Fund and London Gallery Weekend offers grants to support travel and accommodation costs for regional curators from across the UK to visit London Gallery Weekend, 13 – 15 May 2022.

As well as providing funding for travel and accommodation, London Gallery Weekend will help facilitate networking opportunities so the funding recipients can make the most of the weekend.

The fund will enable the visits of curators from regional museums and galleries who would otherwise be unable to cover the costs of travel and accommodation.
