Alex has been working with the Wilson Art Gallery and Museum to support bids for funding from DCMS' Museum Development Fund and the Arts Council's NPO Investment Programme.
The funding will enable The Wilson to launch an ‘incubator’ scheme for early career artists and designers including fellowships for twenty young artists to develop their careers.
The funding can also be used to develop Objects of Comfort - a new project with Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust - to create a handling collection for people with dementia.
