LAST DAY FOR YOUNG CREATIVES TO APPLY FOR ARTS BURSARIES

Applications for $4000 worth of Artspace Mackay bursaries close today (January 13).

The $1000 Rick Wood Bursary is open to students in the Mackay region who completed year 12 in 2022.

While the $3000 Artspace Mackay Foundation Bursary is open to university students currently studying/enrolled in a recognised visual arts or creative industries tertiary course in 2023.

The money may be used for tuition fees, textbooks or equipment required as part of the student’s studies.

All young artists interested in applying for the bursary must provide Artspace Mackay with a letter outlining why they should be considered, a resume of artistic achievements and a memory stick containing a maximum of 10 high quality images of your work (digital videos and/or photos accepted).

Visit Artspace Mackay's website for more information on eligibility and how to apply.

The Hands On Bursary pays tribute to one of Mackay’s celebrated artists, the late Rick Wood.

The Foundation Bursary continues the legacy of the Artspace Mackay Foundation, a former independent, non-profit organisation whose mission was to strengthen financial support for Artspace Mackay.
