The Foundation is thrilled to continue its support of education programmes and exhibitions, furthering its mission across London, Cambridge, and Shanghai, with new grants to the National Gallery, Kettle’s Yard, and Fudan University.

We’re delighted to start a new partnership with Kettle’s Yard of the University of Cambridge, with a grant of £100,000 towards its upcoming exhibition Miró’s Circus to open in November 2027. The show will focus on the Kettle’s Yard’s own Miró work, Tic Tic, 1927, and reunite 20 paintings and drawings from the artist’s Circus series for the first time since they left his studio. The artworks will be exhibited alongside other circus-inspired works from the 1925-26 including set and costume designs for The Ballets Russes.  https://www.kettlesyard.cam.ac.uk/

Details of the exhibition will be announced in due course. https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/

The Foundation is also pleased to further its partnership with Fudan University with a commitment of £1,004,000 over four years to Fudan University’s Research Centre for Global Public Policy, established in 2018, and the London School of Economics’ Global Public Policy Hub. The funds will provide financial support for fellows and post doctorates to conduct research across both campuses.
