The William Syson Foundation will be accepting applications for up to £4000 from constituted organisations from the 15 April to the 26 April.

They welcome applications for activity in any art form or cross-art form including but not limited to visual arts, performing arts, poetry, literature, film-making, music, photography, and digital arts. The fund is unrestricted, so can cover project or core costs.
