The Queer Heritage and Collections Network (QHCN), with support from the National Lottery through Arts Council England, has just announced an open call to work with Network members to co-design and co-deliver at least 6 new Creative Projects with English museums/heritage organisations.
The selected projects will benefit the widest possible audiences, address key priorities identified by the Network and exemplify leading-edge practice in the area of LGBTQIA+ heritage and collections engagement.
QHCN is accepting submissions for project proposals for up to £10,000 (with a minimum of £3,000 per project).
QHCN will offer the project funding, mentorship and a place in the Development Programme that is built around the Creative Projects. In exchange, each lead organisation will commit to 50% project match with a minimum 5% financial contribution (e.g., if applying for £10,000, the organisation would commit at least £500 in cash and £9,500 of in-kind support).
