Bursary Scheme

Fresh Air Sculpture is committed to supporting new, emerging and developing artists and we are now inviting applications for the Fresh Air Sculpture 2026 Bursary.

A limited number of Bursaries of up to £1,000 each are available for artists who wish to create new work that is substantially different from their usual practice. A bursary award would mean automatic inclusion in Fresh Air Sculpture 2026 so we will be looking for artists whose work can be exhibited outside and is of a scale suitable for an outdoor garden setting.

Please submit your proposal to Curator@freshairsculpture.com, providing an overview of your work, outlining how you would use the bursary and why this bursary is important to you. Please include a CV, up to 5 images of recent work and a budget for your proposal. Please note this bursary award does not cover transport costs.

The deadline for applications is 1^st September 2025 and successful applicant(s) will be notified by 18^thSeptember 2025.
