The Wellcome Trust Arts Awards support imaginative and experimental arts projects that investigate biomedical science.

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.

All art forms are covered by the programme: dance, drama, performance arts, visual arts, music, film, craft, photography, creative writing or digital media. The Trust invites applications for projects which engage adult audiences and/or young people.

The scheme is open to a wide range of people including, among others, artists, scientists, curators, filmmakers, writers, producers, directors, academics, science communicators, teachers, arts workers and education officers.
