Kiplin Art Commission

Kiplin is looking to select an artist who we can work with to develop a proposal for a new artwork which fits in with our historical connections to Maryland, USA, through the Calvert family, builders of Kiplin Hall. .

The Jerwood Foundation and the Art Fund have formed a partnership to support museums to commission new artworks (Jerwood Art Fund Commissions – Get funding – Art Fund). Kiplin feels that we are perfectly positioned to work with an artist to develop a new artwork project that we can submit to this fund and meet all the details and criteria of the fund.

There is a full brief for this work including criteria for artists we would like to receive submissions from. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any queries or would like any more information.
