Last call for applications for art bursary

Last year's Helen Dangar Memorial Art Bursary Phoebe Hillard used the $3500 bursary to attend the Biannual ICAN Pastel Conference held at Neilson Park Creative Centre Ontario, Canada.

The New England Regional Art Museum (NERAM) is encouraging artists from around New England who want to improve their skills, learn new techniques or broaden their artistic horizons to apply for a $3500 bursary.

The 2025 Helen Dangar Memorial Bursary will be awarded to support a professional or creative development opportunity including activities like workshops, residencies, conferences, masterclasses and other courses.

“I strongly encourage all artists in New England to put in a submission for the bursary, whatever stage of your arts career you are in,” said NERAM Director Rachael Parsons.

“Look at upcoming opportunities that will have an impact on your practice and just go for it.

“Over the seven years that the Helen Dangar Memorial Bursary has been presented at NERAM, New England artists have been given vital support to travel nationally and internationally to engage in a range of creative workshops, residencies and professional development.

“These opportunities have led to these artists making new work, developing professional and creative skills, presenting exhibitions, facilitating workshops and establishing professional networks and collaborations.”

Applications for the Helen Dangar Memorial Art Bursary close on Sunday 30 November 2025.
