Dewar Arts Awards are delighted to be supported by Wm Grant and be part of this network.
At this time of the year young people are thinking about their future, exploring courses, opportunities and essentially identifying funding to support them to participate. I wanted to raise your organisation’s awareness of the Dewar Arts Awards so that you can encourage and support young people that you engage with and meet the criteria, to apply.
The Dewar Arts Awards support the brightest and best of Scotland’s young artistic talent. We fund exceptional young artists in any discipline who do not have the financial means to achieve their full potential. Any artist under the age of 30 and living/working in Scotland can be nominated and the application form, guidance and examples of awardees can be found on our website www.dewarawards.org
Over the past challenging years we have found that the breadth of applications from young people has narrowed. We hope that you can help us spread the word to reach creative and talented young people who, without financial support will not pursue the learning and training that will realise their full potential and contribute to Scotland’s wonderful culture. Over the last 20 years since we started, we have distributed over £6 million to a whole range of young people across a wide range of artistic genre.
Myself and our administrator Patricia Rossi are available to discuss further or answer any questions related to applications. The administrator can be contacted at admin@dewarawards.org or by telephoning 01236 602863. You can also submit an enquiry form via our website if you have a query.
