Art Fund- Reimagine Grants

This article was first published by Art Fund.

Reimagine grants are comprehensive and pragmatic; they should cover most costs associated with delivering creative projects. The funding provides space to experiment with new ideas and approaches, or to revisit important work that has been put on hold.  

This year, there is one key aim for the Reimagine programme. We want to fund projects that will help organisations reimagine their work with collections. 

Formally constituted, not-for-profit organisations that hold permanent collections can apply for the grant. These collections may include fine art, applied art and design, social and natural history, archaeology, and scientific objects. Eligible organisations are museums, galleries, historic houses and university museums. You can apply as a single institution, in a partnership, or with a collective. 

Organisations without collections, such as contemporary art spaces or professional networks, can be involved in Reimagine projects as partners. However, they will not be eligible to lead on applications in 2025. Similarly, previous recipients of Respond and Reimagine/Reimagine grants are not eligible to lead on applications this year.  

Applications close at 5pm on Tuesday 12 August 2025.
