Aspire Bursary

Are you an emerging artist or curator ready to take the next step? We’re offering 3 fully funded bursaries on our Aspire course, for individuals from underrepresented and underserved backgrounds.

Aspire is a professional development programme designed to support early-career creatives in building the skills, confidence and networks needed to realise an exhibition. Led by curator Ricardo Reverón Blanco, the programme offers hands-on insight into curating, fundraising, collaboration and more.

We particularly encourage applications from those who may have faced barriers to accessing opportunities in the arts including people who:

• Have a disability
• Are from the global majority
• Come from a low socio-economic background
• Hold protected characteristics that are underrepresented in the creative sector
• Come from marginalised and underrepresented backgrounds

To apply for a bursary, please complete the Google Form and Equal Opportunities Form.

The closing date for bursary applications is 31 July 2025.

Booking for the course will go live from 1 August 2025.
