Travelling Scholarship Exhibition Opening




Opening on Saturday 21st October, 3pm at Depot Galleries, 2 Danks St Waterloo.

Curated by Nick Vickers, the exhibitions feature the winners of the Freedman Foundation Travelling Scholarship for Emerging Artists, both the returning scholars from 2004 and this year’s award winners. The scholarship, which has awarded over $185,000 over the last 6 years, encourages artists to further develop their career through overseas study or mentorship programs. Initiated by well-known arts patrons, the Freedman Foundation and administered by the National Association for the Visual Arts (NAVA), the scholarship has supported 37 artists in its short history.

With the opening function on Saturday October 21st, Depot I will feature work by 2004 Scholars Peter Alwast, Sean Cordeiro and Claire Healy, Danielle Hastie, Sarah Jane Pell and Ahn Wells.

Depot II will feature this year’s winners Jade Boyd, Lori Kirk, James Hancock, Astra Howard and Mimi Tong.
