Wellcome Trust Arts Awards Next Deadline Soon!
Arts Awards support imaginative and experimental arts projects that investigate biomedical science. Grants of up to £30,000 are available to our Yorkshire creatives.
The scheme aims to
- stimulate interest, excitement and debate about biomedical science through the arts
- examine the social, cultural, and ethical impact of biomedical science support formal and informal learning
- encourage new ways of thinking
- encourage high quality interdisciplinary practice and collaborative partnerships in arts, science and/or education practice
The arts are an effective way of stimulating debate and engaging people with biomedical science. Visual art, music, moving image, creative writing and performance can reach new audiences which may not traditionally be interested in science and provide new ways of thinking about the social, cultural and ethical issues around contemporary science.
Collaborative and interdisciplinary practice across the arts and sciences can help to provide new perspectives on both fields. The arts can also provide imaginative ways of engaging and educating young people in the field of science.
