‘To
bear in mind at all times an original, inquisitive,
open-minded, generous and unshockable approach
to art in all its forms with a bias towards the
visual arts.’
This injunction,
laid down by the original Trustees
of The Elephant Trust, embodies the spirit of its
founders, Roland Penrose and Lee Miller, and remains
the cornerstone of the Trust’s policy today.
The Trust was set up to make it possible for artists and
those presenting their work to undertake and complete
projects when frustrated by lack of funds. It is
committed to helping artists and institutions that
depart from the routine and signal new, distinct and
imaginative sets of possibilities.
to be sure their project falls within the remit of
The Elephant Trust.
Given the Trust’s
modest resources, grants have
usually been limited to £2,000 but larger grants
may be considered. Funding priority is given to artists and to small organisations and galleries.
No grants are available for educational or
other study purposes.
No grants are available for residencies or research.
No grants are available for projects taking place outside the UK.
