Renaissance

Renaissance is the MLA’s ground-breaking programme to transform England’s regional museums.  From the 30th June 2011, the regional Renaissance Hub structure ceases to exist. 2011-12 is a transitional year for Renaissance, in which £37.6 million of grant funding, previously known as Hub funding, has been made available instead directly to 45 museum services.  As part of the transfer of functions from MLA to Arts Council England, ACE will announce its long-term plans for Renaissance in autumn 2011, in time for the 2012-13 budget making process. Applications for Renaissance funding for 2012-15 will then be invited and decisions announced in preparation for the new financial year.  Links to historical regional Hub information are below to show the legacy.
