The next deadline for submitting grant proposals to the Museum Loan Network
(MLN)is Friday, March 18, 2005.  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.

To help realize collaborations among institutions, the MLN has established a
series of grant programs available to U.S. institutions that facilitate and
fund the development of long-term programming and the loan of art and
objects of cultural heritage. The MLN awards grants to support planning,
research, and programming.
