Jerwood Painting
Fellowships
A new initiative from Jerwood Visual
Arts
Call for Entries 2010
Jerwood Painting Fellowships is a new initiative from
Jerwood Visual Arts designed to promote and support emerging
artists in the field of painting. It follows the critically
acclaimed Jerwood Contemporary Painters series, which came to
an end earlier this year after a four year run, and previously
the Jerwood Painting Prize.
Funded and managed by the Jerwood Charitable Foundation
as part of the Jerwood Visual Arts programme, the Jerwood
Painting Fellowships are an open submission opportunity open
to UK based painters. Artists are invited to apply for the
three new Fellowships, which will be awarded to outstanding
artists in the first five years of their professional
practice.
The
three selected artists will each receive a bursary of £10,000
and a six-month period of critical and professional
development support from mentors; Paul
Bonaventura, Stephen Farthing RA and
Chantal Joffe. The mentors will offer
feedback on their studio practice and introduce them to a
broader professional context for painting.
“We wanted this new initiative to offer more
than just financial support to artists. We wanted to design a
scheme that get’s to the heart of what it is to be a
practicing artist today and provide support for their creative
and professional development.“
Shonagh Manson
Director, Jerwood Charitable
Foundation
During the mentoring period from October 2010 to April
2011, the Fellows will be required to work towards an
exhibition of new work within the Jerwood Visual Arts
programme, to be curated by the three mentors. The exhibition
will take place at Jerwood Space from 11 May – 26 June
2011 before embarking on a tour later in the
year.
Closing date for entries: 24 September
2010
