A £1,000 bursary is available for a UEA undergraduate, aged between 17 and 25, to pursue a specific project in any general field of the visual arts, including fine art, illustration, photography, video, curation or administration. The award is open to students studying in any school of UEA and in any discipline, and is designed to encourage students who have a personal and practical interest in contemporary visual art that is distinct from their formal academic studies.
Norfolk Contemporary Art Society and Young Norfolk Arts Trust (www.ynaf.org.uk), are jointly making this award in partnership with Norwich University of the Arts (NUA). The bursary can be used flexibly, for example for materials, travel or research. Depending on the nature of the final project, the output from the award may be exhibited in the YNAF exhibition in Norwich in July 2019. The award winner may be required to give a presentation about their work as part of the same event. Tailored mentoring will be available if required from professional staff at NUA. The YNAF communications team of young volunteers/advocates will promote, report on and record activities associated with the project, and will liaise with local media.
Eligible applicants can apply by filling in the attached form and sending it, together with a short recommendation by an academic referee, to:
Keith Roberts, chair of ncas, at keith@keith-roberts.org.uk to arrive no later than Monday 4th March.
