Past Bursaries

In its first year Emerge awarded 5 bursaries of £500 each, to artists’ groups across the Emerge boroughs of Barnet, Brent, Enfield, Haringey and Harrow.

Projects included:

Meals on Wheals - Soup.
'a travelling trolley that will unite the artistic communities of North London'. The newly formed artists' group 'Soup', brought tea and cakes to artists’ studios and organisations in North London e.g Chocolate Factory (Haringey), ArtsDepot (Barnet) and Fovea Gallery (Harrow), providing an opportunity for artists to network and exchange ideas.

'Arts Week' - Loop
The Emerge Bursary Award supported administration and professional development undertaken to develop an Arts Week. Organised by Kitty Stirling, this group was formed at the Emerge Conference in 2005. The Arts Week may be based in Brent, but also has the potential to offer opportunities to all North London artists.

Life Drawing and Peer Review - North London Women Artists (NLWAG).
The Emerge Bursary Award funded life drawing sessions for the NLWA group. Many of the individual members of the group make work informed by the female form and this award allowed them to share skills and also develop as a group. NLWA group was formed at the first Emerge conference and is open to all North London women artists.
