Turing Foundation

Exhibitions:

• The fund supports exhibitions in the fields of old, modern, and contemporary visual arts;
• The fund only accepts applications submitted by Dutch museums;
• The fund has a preference for:
   - Exhibitions from abroad and/or exhibitions with significant foreign loans;
   - Painting exhibitions;
   - Exhibitions that have the potential to reach a large audience or attract a new/different audience than the regular museum audience, without compromising the high quality of the exhibition.
• The exhibition must have a demonstrable and significant significance for the museum's collection;
• The fund only supports exhibitions on visual arts where the quality of the displayed works and the exhibition concept is undeniable;
• The fund only supports exhibitions accompanied by a catalog (or publication) (ready at the time of the exhibition opening);
• The application should preferably be submitted to the Turing Foundation at least one year before the exhibition's opening date;
• The fund prefers museums with a solid marketing plan to reach new audiences alongside traditional visitors.
• The fund values a realistic estimate of the expected number of visitors. Therefore, upon approval of the application by the Board, we disburse 80% of the donation immediately, and the remaining 20% after achieving the expected number of visitors. If the number of visitors falls short of the expectation by a percentage between 20% and 50%, 10% of the intended grant will not be disbursed. For a deviation of 50% or more, the remaining amount will not be disbursed;
• In addition to Art, the Turing Foundation also supports projects in Biodiversity & Climate Change. Therefore, the fund is interested in museums' views on sustainability and request a brief explanation of their sustainability policy when applying for an exhibition.

Art Acquisitions:

• The fund occasionally contributes to art acquisitions through art auctions and fairs that operate on a bidding system;
• The fund only contributes in the form of an additional final bid;
• The fund has a preference for art acquisitions supported by the Vereniging Rembrandt;
• The fund contributes to the purchase of the work, not to transport or restoration costs.
