The Barakat Trust Hands on Islamic Art Awards
Details
Funding is available for projects in the United Kingdom that use collections of Islamic art in the UK to foster greater understanding about the cultures of the Islamic world, and involve a significant element of public engagement.
The aims of this grant scheme are to enable a better public understanding of such collections, to make such collections more accessible, and, critically, to develop and deliver public engagement activities that use such collections to raise awareness about the cultures of the ‘Islamic world’, and also about links between the ‘Islamic world’ and Britain.
In addition to funding, the Trust will can provide in-kind support which can include project mentorship, facilitation between heritage collections and community groups, covering the costs of specialists researching the collections under study, promotion and publicity of project activities.
