The Icon Tru Vue Conservation and Exhibition Grant Scheme

Tru Vue Conservation and Exhibition Grant Scheme-

Applications open now, closing 27th February.

Do you have a historic object in your collection you’d love to have on display but can’t due to it’s condition? Perhaps your object is already on display but in need of some care to stay there? Icon is delighted to continue partnering with Tru Vue to continue the delivery of this fantastic scheme, and for the first time welcome applicants from the United States! At least seven grants of up to £3,000 (with an additional material donation from Tru Vue worth up to £4,000) will be distributed to small heritage organisations across the world.

We are looking to support projects that do one of the following:
– Conserve and protect an object or objects already on display.
– Enable an object that is not currently on display to be conserved and made accessible to visitors in a safe way.

We’ll be hosting a free online information and support session for applicants on the 2nd February, 3-4pm (UK time). Come along and chat to us about your project!
