Emerging Artist Bursary Scheme
Once again this year Devon Artist Network is proud to offer its Emerging Artist Bursary scheme to encourage new and emerging artists to take part in our annual Devon Open Studios event in 2012. The Emerging Artist Bursary aims to nurture and encourage new talent to take the next steps in their career by helping to fund their participation in this prestigious annual open studios event. We are grateful to our key sponsor, Helpful Holidays, for funding this initiative which will support five emerging artists living and working in Devon.
