Arts Council announces Renaissance partner museums

Posted: 24 Jan 2012 06:13 AM PST

Arts Council England has announced the 16 major partner museums who will together receive approximately £20 million a year in funding for the next three years (April 2012 – March 2015) as part of its Renaissance programme for regional museums.


The West Midlands is host to two: Birmingham Museums Trust and Ironbridge Gorge Trust Museum.


The awards follow the Arts Council's assumption of responsibilities for museum development from the Museums Libraries and Archives Council (MLA) in 2011. It is the first time major Renaissance grants have been awarded for a three year period via an open application system against published criteria.


The awards are also made in the context of the strategic goals in Culture, Knowledge and Understanding: great museums and libraries for everyone the document that sets out how the Arts Council is placing museums and libraries firmly at the heart of the organisation, its work and its vision for the future.


Alan Davey, Chief Executive, Arts Council England said that the insitutions "....have all been chosen for the excellence of their work, their innovative approaches to connecting audiences with their collections, and for their compelling plans for the future."


The 16 major partners represent a diverse range of museums across England, including local authority and university museums and independent trusts. Several successful applications came from consortia, meaning that 23 museum services will receive support through this part of Renaissance.


The Arts Council received 29 eligible applications for major partner funding, requesting a total of £116.4 million over three years. The 16 successful applicants requested £23.5 million a year against an annual budget of approximately £20 million. The exact amounts of each major partner's award will therefore be finalised as part of the negotiations of their funding agreements and published in April.


One year's transitional funding will be available to unsuccessful applicants who currently receive support from the MLA Renaissance hub scheme, to help them adjust to these changes. Levels of transitional funding will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis.


More details of the Renaissance Museum development fund are also announced alongside this list. This new fund will help to enhance the sustainability and resilience of the museums sector by enabling the sharing of expertise and knowledge, to maximize the benefits to audiences and communities. Applicants will bid to deliver development support for museums through local museum networks. The Museums development fund will open to applications on 7 February 2012 and close on 7 March 2012, with a total of £8 million available between 2012 and 2015.


Details of the Renaissance Strategic support fund – anticipated to be around £15 million a year – will be announced in the autumn. Strategic support will complement major partner and museums development investment, and will focus on any gaps or development opportunities not addressed by the other funds.


The final part of the Arts Council's reworked Renaissance programme is the ongoing development of National programmes, including Accreditation, Designation, the V&A Purchase Grant Fund, the PRISM fund, support for national campaigns such as Kids in Museums and Museums at Night, and subject specialist networks.


Arts Council England states that it is confident that the various funding streams of its Renaissance programme will work together to provide a comprehensive package of support, driving excellence and delivering long term change in museums in England, with the aim of attracting more visitors to museums and enabling people to experience them in new and innovative ways.
