To further our mission to advance the study and practice of art history, the Association for Art History offers grants of up to £1,000 which provide support to aid scholarly research, to develop professional practice and to further the teaching and learning of art history at all education levels.

What we fund grants to aid scholarly research include support for:
- organisation of symposia, conferences and workshops
- travel to libraries, archives and collections
- delivery of research findings at conferences
- catalogues and public engagement programmes for exhibitions
- access to images controlled by third party rights holders

Grants to develop professional practice within art history include:
- participation in museum and gallery training programmes in curatorial and public engagement areas

Grants to support the teaching and learning of art history in schools include:
- teachers’ continuing professional development
- formal and informal learning opportunities for students

Priorities – within our grants categories, we look particularly favourably on:
- projects from a wide geographic distribution throughout the UK and those that will reach broad audiences
- projects that promote the participation of diverse audiences and encourage new perspectives within art and art history
- supporting research and practice where the applicant is without institutional affiliation or the access to funding that such association would provide

Outcomes – we expect that the outcomes of projects we fund will include:
- expanding the knowledge base of art history
- enabling more researchers and professionals in the field, particularly those who do not have other means of support, to access essential career development opportunities
- helping art historians and those in related professions to build and extend their networks to facilitate their work and professional development
- introducing wider audiences to art history through exhibitions, publications and other public programming
- facilitating the teaching and learning of art history in secondary schools and thereby increasing the engagement of students at all levels with the subject
