The Gabo Trust was founded in 1988 by the family of the sculptor Naum Gabo (1890-1977). Aware of problems with new materials in modern and contemporary sculpture, they intended that the Trust should increase resources for sculpture conservation in institutional collections, and support for the further education of professional conservators. The Trust supports conservators for further training, conferences, workshops and bursaries. The Trust favours applications that have a relevance to modern and contemporary sculpture, although inevitably many have a wider application.
The Gabo Trust-IIC Travelling Scholarship is a bursary to allow individuals to take a study-focused international tour. These are currently organised in conjunction with the IIC. The Scholarships enable conservators to carry out research on the conservation of sculpture and to meet and see the work of other conservators, and learn about the differing approaches, ethics, materials and methods. The majority of grants awarded are under £5,000. For more information visit http://www.gabotrust.org
