the National Association for Gallery Education and the Marsh Christian Trust
are delighted to announce the Marsh
Awards for Excellence in Gallery Education 2016. The Awards, which

winners £500 to spend on their professional development.
Nominations Deadline: 10am, Thursday 16 June 2016.
The Awards
Awards of £500 each will be offered to
individuals working in learning or education in or for galleries or visual arts
organisations, who have shown dedication or innovation

Winners should use the
Award to support their Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and each will
be asked to complete a short feedback form by March 2017.
Since 2011, the Awards have successfully enabled winners
to develop their arts education practice through funding attendance of courses
and conferences, the joining of professional associations, visiting of good
practice in the UK and abroad, funding of research, and by inspiring personal
and professional confidence through the recognition of their work.
