Durham Art Gallery Fallis Scholarship for the Arts

The Fallis Family Scholarship for the Arts, administered by the Durham Art Gallery, supports emerging young artists from Grey and Bruce counties who are pursuing post-secondary education in the arts.

The scholarship provides $2,000 to one deserving student who has been accepted into or is currently enrolled in an arts program at a recognized post-secondary institution. Its goal is to help alleviate the financial burden of continuing education while encouraging young artists to develop their creative talents and pursue their artistic aspirations.

The scholarship places a particular focus on supporting youth who identify as Indigenous, Black and/or people of colour, recognizing the importance of creating opportunities for diverse voices and perspectives within the arts community.

Application Requirements:

Applicants must submit a completed application form, three digital images of original artwork, an artistic statement of no more than 250 words, proof of acceptance or enrollment, a current artistic CV and a letter of reference.

Applications are reviewed by the Fallis Family Arts Scholarship Jury Committee.
