THE WILLIAM FLETCHER Grants 2010
- for talented young artists

Closing date - 30th April 2010

 

 

The William Fletcher Trust (now the William Fletcher Foundation) was established in 1985 to celebrate the life and to commemorate the work of William Ernest Maurice Fletcher (1924-1983), painter and printmaker, whose integrity as an artist was not compromised by his material difficulties and lifetime fight with cardiac asthma.  The William Fletcher Grants are awarded annually to outstanding young visual arts students who demonstrate excellence in painting, drawing, printmaking or stage design.

the link on the Institution’s website. • NB (1): there are two pages;

has to be one of the five eligible studio disciplines ( painting; drawing, print-making;
illustration; theatrical (set and costume) design.
