Wysing Arts Centre in Cambridgeshire will be awarded PS500,000 to fund an artist development program lasting 10 years known as the Syllabus. Every year, 10 artists with diverse backgrounds will participate in an ambitious program delivered across a nationwide network of eight art institutions.
The partnership’s groundbreaking concept will offer 10 years of assistance to artists with ethnic minorities as well as people with low incomes, with special access requirements or without any formal education in art.
