2025 BURSARIES
WOS will be funding bursaries of £250 each and providing support and mentoring for our 2025 Summer Art Weeks. This will enable new talent in the early stages of the creative journey to get involved and assist in the transition to becoming an artist.
We welcome applications from talented artists aged 18 and above, working in any art medium (2D, 3D, mixed media etc), who have never participated in WOS Summer Art Weeks before. The bursary is to facilitate their involvement in the Summer Art Weeks and can be used for materials to produce artwork, framing, printing, display equipment, travel costs etc.
The successful artists are also given one year’s free WOS registration and their Summer Art Weeks 2025 entry paid (combined value of £140), as well as support in finding a venue. In addition, we provide mentor support through our network of established artists, who will help them prepare for the event.
The application process is now open and the DEADLINE for applications is 9 DECEMBER 2024
OUR 2024 BURSARY WINNERS
We are delighted to once again support a diverse range of emerging artists with our Emerge bursary scheme for 2024. We welcomed applications from talented artists aged 18 and above working in any art medium who have never participated in WOS Summer Art Weeks before. Our bursary is designed to facilitate emerging artists to get involved in Summer Art Weeks and assist in their transition to becoming an established artist,
EMERGE
In addition to the bursaries, we are also improving the way in which we support all the artists new to Summer Art Weeks or those who have perhaps only been involved a couple of times before. This support will include:
- Help in finding a venue – check out the CONNECT section of the website
- Marketing / Get Involved Workshop in Spring 2025
- Closer links to the network of area reps, who will act as a mentor / buddy
- Help & Resources in a dedicated registered artists’ area to include information on video production, photography, social media etc
We will regularly communicate with you by email, but if you have any specific support queries then please email emerge@warwickshireopenstudios.org
