Applications for assistance should be made to the FNCI by email (email: secretary@fnci.ie). Applications should include details of the work of art or object to be acquired including the title, artist’s name and dates, size, medium and a brief description. Where possible an image of the item should be included. Applications should also detail why a particular item should be acquired by the applicant institution or organisation. Details of provenance and cost must also be provided.
All applications are reviewed by the FNCI Acquisitions Sub-Committee. Occasionally the Sub-Committee may request further information from an applicant. The Sub-Committee aims to reach a decision within two weeks of receipt of an application. In exceptional circumstances, speedier processing of an application may be possible.
Successful applications will be publicised on the FNCI website and in social media, and the work of art will be added to the FNCI acquisitions catalogue.
Please note that the funds available to the FNCI are very limited and that the decision of the Sub-Committee is final and not subject to appeal.
