travelling art scholarship

Each year, the Brett Whiteley Studio, administered by the Art Gallery of New South Wales, invites applications for a major travelling art scholarship. The scholarship is awarded to a talented young artist with an established body of work, who is best able to demonstrate the use and benefit of the scholarship to further his/her art education in Europe.
Mrs. Beryl Whiteley, the artist’s mother, has generously made the funds available for the scholarship, both to encourage excellence in painting and offer young artists the same opportunities to develop their careers as were afforded to her son.

i) The scholarship consists of an amount of $25,000 and a three (3) month residency at the Studio at the Cité Internationale des Arts, Paris, administered by the Art Gallery of New South Wales.
ii) The residency is for a continuous period of three (3) months occupancy, from July to September (dates subject to change). The scholarship must be taken at this specified time.
iii) The $25,000 must be used by the successful applicant to further their art education in Europe for a period of at least six (6) months, three (3) months of which must be used in conjunction with the residency.
