Help from Windmill Trust Scholarship
THE Windmill Trust Scholarship was established in 1997 by Primrose Moss to honour her sister, artist and former director of the Macquarie Galleries, the late Penny Meagher.
The scholarship provides assistance to rural and regional artists of up to $10,000 plus GST to go towards exhibiting work such as framing, freight, space rental, promotion, artists' fees, installation, documentation, professional development, education and independent artistic research or practice such as studio rental, material or labour costs.
Applications for the 2020 Windmill Scholarship are now open.
To apply, head to the National Association for the Visual Arts (NAVA) website: visualarts.net.au/nava-grants/
Colourful public art appears across region
WHILE we practised social distancing, bright pops of colour have emerged in towns across the region during COVID and they really symbolise the vitality of the people and artists in Central NSW.
Arts OutWest looks forward to sharing these new works, alongside 275 other great works of public art, on our soon-to-be launched Culture Maps Central NSW website.
Stay tuned!
