ARLIS/UK 50th anniversary

ARLIS UK & Ireland 50th Anniversary Events

2019 is the 50th Anniversary of ARLIS UK & Ireland, and we thought a fitting way to celebrate would be to support the running of local events throughout UK & Ireland. As a Society we recognise how often events occur in London and the South East, and on our 50th birthday we were keen to enable members to hold events more locally, offering the opportunity for themes and issues relating to art librarianship to be explored up and down the country.

We therefore offered 10 x £500 grants to support the running of a local events, and we invited you to send us your applications for funding. Here are the results:
