The deadline for submitting grant proposals to the Museum Loan Network (MLN)
has been extended to Wednesday, December 17, 2003.  Guidelines and
Application Forms are available for download at
http://loanet.mit.edu/grants/gi_guide.html

The MLN facilitates and funds the long-term loan of art and objects of
cultural heritage among U.S. institutions as a way to enhance the
installations of museums, thus enabling them to better serve their
communities. The MLN grant programs help museums respond to the increasing
public demand for installations that are relevant to a range of age groups
and cultural heritages, and to provide better artistic, cultural, and
historical contexts for works on display.

The MLN awards three types of grants to facilitate collections sharing:
Survey, Travel, and Implementation.  Institutions are encouraged to contact
the MLN to discuss their proposals.
