Special Awards
Every year, the CAS advertises Special Awards to our Museum Members. These are generally designed to support a particular category of work, and typically offer larger sums of money for more ambitious purchases than the core schemes. Including the Collections Fund at Frieze, Valeria Napoleone XX CAS, Griffin Award, Ada Award, Great Works, as well as our annual partnerships with the Henry Moore Foundation (Cathy Wills) and the National Galley (residency programme), the parameters of each scheme reflect the passions of individual donors and are designed to be responsive to museums’ collecting priorities.
