Short Description
Aspire Bursary is a professional development programme designed to support early-career creatives in building the skills, confidence and networks needed to realise an exhibition. Led by curator Ricardo Reverón Blanco, the programme offers hands-on insight into curating, fundraising, collaboration and more.
Each year, we provide three Aspire bursaries to support emerging curators and artistic practitioners from underserved social and economic backgrounds. These bursaries cover the full cost of the course and are awarded through an application process aligned with the Social Mobility Commission’s guidelines.
Are you an emerging artist or curator ready to take the next step? We’re offering 3 fully funded bursaries on our Aspire course, for individuals from underrepresented and underserved backgrounds.
