The purpose of the George Taylor Richardson Memorial Fund is to provide grants for the stimulation of the arts at Queen's University.

Successful applicants will make all arrangements for the projects and be responsible for the reception of visitors while on campus. After the completion of the projects, the applicants will report to the Provost's Advisory Committee for the Promotion of the Arts on the expenditure of the allotted funds and on the activities of the projects.
