The ˽·¿¾ãÀÖ²¿ has given three new grants to continue its support of the Arts in London. The Foundation furthers its mission of supporting education, communities, and the pursuit of knowledge through multi-year grants to Tate, the Royal Opera House, and London Symphony Orchestra.  

The Foundation is pleased to continue its support of London-based art organisations as they face numerous challenges including the ongoing impact of the pandemic, rising energy prices and Arts Council funding cuts. It will be sponsoring a total of six performances at the Royal Opera House over two seasons with a multi-year year grant of £300,000, and six concerts at the London Symphony Orchestra with a grant of £200,000 for two seasons.

The Tate Modern is to receive £250,000 for support of its exhibition The Expressionists, in collaboration with Lenbachhaus, Munich. The major show, curated by Natalia Sidlina and Genevieve Barton, will present a total of 130 works spread across 12 rooms and present a diverse spectrum of Der Blaue Reiter artists, including Wassily Kandinsky, Franz Marc, and Gabriele Münter. The exhibition is expecting 261,000 visitors during its 4-month run from April to October 2024.
