Subject - Adam Reynolds Memorial Bursary for deaf and disabled artists

Posted : (Monday 29th June 2009 ) By - jess (Registered User)

The annual Adam Reynolds Memorial Bursary for deaf and disabled artists working in the visual arts has been established by Shape in collaboration with Adam's friends and family.

The bursary is intended to provide time, space and support for artists to work in an open-ended way without pressure to deliver a particular outcome.

The successful artist is selected from an open submission, on the strength of their work and proposal.

This year, the selected artist will receive:

• * GBP 5,000 - this could be used for anything from paying for living expenses during the residency to buying or hiring equipment.


• * A residency at an influential studio space


• * Advice and support from a high profile gallery


• * Additional support and advice from Shape to improve access to the arts for disabled people




The deadline for applications is Monday 7 September 2009.
