The Amgueddfa Cymru Challenge

The Amgueddfa Cymru Challenge is a partnership between Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum Wales and Clwstwr which will look at innovative and creative ways to rethink the museum experience through an exploration of the collection of St Fagans National Museum of History.

Under this call funding will be awarded to support the research and development (R&D) of innovative ways to experience and interact physically and digitally with Amgueddfa Cymru’s collection (specifically that of St Fagans) on a local and global scale. 

Who can apply?

Apllications are closed.

Clwstwr’s grant schemes are designed to support different sizes and types of organisation including micro-businesses, sole-traders, freelancers and research organisations.

We welcome applications, and opportunities for partnerships from everyone.

We are keen to attract people to work with us from a broad range of backgrounds. Through this we believe we can continue to look at the world with fresh eyes and find new ways of doing things. 

We particularly welcome applications from women, black and minority ethnic people, disabled people, LGBT+ applicants and Welsh language speakers as they are under-represented within our cohort currently. 

How much can I apply for?

Applications are now closed. 

Under this call two projects will be awarded up to £25,000 each.

The Partners have the right to fund above or below the two projects mentioned above. The level of investment therefore may be adjusted to reflect awarded projects.

How do I apply?

Before you apply for funding you are required to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI). The EOI is an opportunity for you to share a basic outline for the idea you would like to develop with the partners.

Up to 10 ideas will be selected for further development at our Challenge Workshop, following the workshop you will be able to submit a formal application for funding. 

Please note: For applicants with access requirements, for example individuals who are D/deaf, hard-of-hearing, Disabled or neurodiverse people, and people with sight loss, we will endeavour to provide alternative formats of our Guidelines and Application Forms. Further support is also available to complete an application. To discuss your requirements, please email us at clwstwrcreadigol@cardiff.ac.uk or call 02922 511434.
