SWLA Bursaries

Awards of up to £750 each are open to any artist (16 and over) to enable them to develop their skills. This may be through help with education and courses, expenses for a field trip or expedition, or help mounting a special project.

In the last twenty years SWLA Bursaries have supported many varied projects:

A bursary enabled Vicky White to travel to Gibraltar to study and raise awareness of the Barbary macaques as part of her MA course at the Royal college of Art

Stephanie Black aimed, for the sake of wildlife and the environment, to influence consumers to recycle more and to refuse supermarket plastic bags, by producing free cotton bags with seabird designs

Christopher Wallbank used his bursary to produce the Unbound Amazonia Field Guide of local flora and fauna for use at the Manu Biosphere Reserve of Eastern Peru.
