New visual arts and digital media bursaries from Reveal Somerset to help support artists to make work for showcasing in high visibility spaces, in particular as part of ‘empty shop’ initiatives across the county of Somerset. The aim is to support an artist in each of the five districts. The vitality of our village and town centres is key to the future sustainability of these places.
Reveal Somerset is keen to support the role artists can play with creative opportunities in difficult times. Each of the five bursaries will be awarded £200 (we hope that good proposals will attract additional match funding).
In addition the Reveal partnership and a Somerset Arts Promoter will support each artist. Additional production support will be on hand at the Reveal hubs in Bridgwater, Langport and Taunton. The work will be showcased in November 2009 at a planned Reveal Symposium.
