India-UK: Connections through
Culture is an initiative by the British Council which aims to build lasting
relationships between cultural organisations, museums and heritage
organisations in the UK and India.
As part of the India-UK:
Connections through Culture programme, the British Council is offering travel
grants for trips to India and is inviting applications from non-national
museums in the UK. The aim of the travel grant scheme is to enable non-national
museums in the UK to build and develop institutional links, to share skills and
to create and develop joint projects and exhibitions.
Opportunities are available
for grantees to work with cultural institutions, museums and heritage
organisations throughout India.
In addition, there are two
large-scale international platforms for the Visual Arts in India in 2014-2015.
The Kochi Muziris Biennale will be
taking place from mid December 2014 until March 2015 and the India Art Fair will take place from 29 January-1 February 2015. If these events are of
interest to your institution, the British Council can help by facilitating
introductions and providing information about specific opportunities for
engagement.
The Grant
The travel grant of £2000
will cover the total costs of a week-long visit to India, including the cost of
visas and inoculations. The British Council will provide a letter of invitation
and advice, but visa applications, travel, accommodation and meetings must be
organised by the grantee. On completion
of the visit, the grantee will need to submit a short report giving details of
meetings, visits and potential outcomes.
Travel to India needs to be
completed by 28 May 2015.
Applications
The deadline for applications
is 18 July 2014.
Applicants will be notified
by 1 August 2014 .
