About

Please be advised that we will be making some minor changes to the Go and See application form during 21 – 29 March. To enable us to make these changes we need to temporarily close the fund.

We will not be able to accept applications to the fund during this time. If you would like to submit your application using the application you have started please could you ensure you have submitted by 5pm 21 March.  Failure to do so will mean that your current application will be deleted, and you will need to start your application using the new form.

Please note that your school may only have one Go and See or one Go Creative grant open at any one time. We will not be able to assess a new application from your school until your active grant’s completion report has been received and the grant has been closed.

Go and See is a grant that can be used to fund visits to high-quality arts events in galleries, theatres, arts centres and other venues. Events could include visits to performances and exhibitions or visits to experience arts professionals developing and creating their work.
