The scholarships are available for practising and emerging artists from any one of the seven local government areas serviced by the Veolia Mulwaree Trust, including Oberon.

The Veolia Creative Arts Scholarships, now in their sixth year, were established to support the creative culture in the region and recognise artists’ valuable contribution.

Two scholarships valued at $3000 each are available for this year. The scholarships are on offer to local creative artists working in any arts discipline, including (but not limited to) visual arts, music, theatre and writing.

One arts practice scholarship will be available for a creative artist to further his or her art practice, such as by making and/or completing a body of work for exhibition, publication or performance.

One arts study scholarship will be available for a creative artist to undertake a program of arts study at a tertiary institution or other educational program, through a mentorship program or study tour.

Applications close Thursday, March 2. Apply online at www.mulwareetrust.org.au
