<U>Aims<BR>
</U> <BR>
This Bursary is part of Plymouth Arts Centres and ArtsMatrix initiative to assist the development of artist led studios and curatorial practice in the area, which is an extension to the successful two-part seminar on artist led studios. The seminar outlined a variety of propositions for developing Artist Led Spaces from presentations of artists and organisations actively developing artist led spaces in the region and across the UK. Including speakers from NFASP (National Association for Studio Providers), ACME, London, Station, Bristol, ALIAS South West (Artist Led Initiative Advisory Service) and Euclid. <BR>
<BR>
Out of this process a group of artists based in Plymouth are currently working together to establish studio provision in the city. The group is being supported by Plymouth Arts Centre and Arts Matrix to take this forward. <BR>
<BR>
Plymouth Arts Centre and ArtsMatrix are now able to offer another small bursary to an artist collective in Plymouth, to support visual arts initiatives related to studio space and curatorial projects. <BR>
<BR>
The value of this bursary is £2000.<BR>
