GRANTS TO MUSEUMS AND ART GALLERIES

- Grants can be made to Herefordshire museums and art galleries to help in the acquisition or loan of works of art or objects of historical importance especially to Herefordshire, or their restoration, conservation, display or storage.

- Grants can also be made to organisations and individuals in Herefordshire supporting the Arts for public benefit, especially those using the Arts to enrich the public offer at museums and heritage sites.

- Support can be given to heritage professionals, artists and craftspeople embarking on their careers.

​- Each year the Becca Moult Blacksmithing Award is presented to the student on Holme Lacy’s blacksmithing courses who has demonstrated the most passion and commitment to learning the craft.
