Stay Tuned - Next Round Pending!
The Axisweb Research and Development Bursary seeks to support members in the evolution of ideas to support their artistic practice.
There will be three rounds of the R&D Bursary in 2020 supporting a total of six awards, two per round. Successful recipients each receive £500, access to advice and support from Axisweb staff / Trustees.
We are looking for applications from artists able to demonstrate a critical framework in approach and have a desire to challenge their practice.

This could include, but is not limited to: Attending a series of workshops or classes, self initiated residencies, meeting a specific artist, spending time in archives or visiting exhibitions.
While we do not require a concrete outcome, we would like to share your experience with the rest of our members. Examples of documentation could include a short piece of reflective writing or photographs of your progression.
