The Arts Council here is inviting applications for the 2010 Jane Graham memorial award.
Any visual artist residing and actively practising in Guelph or Wellington County who can demonstrate a commitment to professional artistic development is eligible to apply for funding to pursue professional development opportunities.
Specific activities considered include any course, conference, apprenticeship, field trip, or other professional development learning experience that can be shown to contribute to the personal artistic growth of the applicant artist. The application deadline is Sept. 7.
The award was created in 2006 in memory of Jane Graham, an artist living and working in the Guelph area prior to her death in 2005. With donations received in her memory, Guelph Arts Council created a memorial fund at The Guelph Community Foundation, and, with the income earned, now annually offers an award for one or more local visual artists.
Applicants must complete the required application form available from the Guelph Arts Council office or from www.guelpharts.ca/guelphartscouncil.
For more information, call 519- 836-3280 or email gac@sentex.net.
