Isle of Man Arts Council launches new student bursaries

Wed, 01 May 2019

The Isle of Man Arts Council launched its new student bursaries for 2019/20 to support students studying the arts who are moving into further and higher education. 

There will be three bursaries available, each for £10,000, to be awarded to three students over the duration of their arts course:

The Jonathan Gollow Bursary for Performing Arts in memory of the late music promoter Jonathan “Jonno” Gollow who was a valued member of the Arts Council until 2012 and who sadly passed away suddenly in 2017.

The Norman Sayle Bursary for Visual Art and Literature in memory of the most celebrated Manx artist of recent times, Noman Sayle RI TH (1926-2007) who was also a dedicated teacher and a former Arts Council member.

The Isle of Man Arts Council Bursary is to be awarded to a student whose extenuating personal circumstances may be preventing their further studies within the arts.

Applications for the bursaries can be made by the Isle of Man Arts Council website: www.iomarts.com and will close on 1 June 2019, with the three recipients being informed after the Arts Council meeting on 14 June.
