Grand Union and Eastside Projects are delighted to launch the 2012 New Art Writing Bursary. The bursary will support one new or emerging West Midlands-based practitioner for nine months as they develop critical and creative writing as, and about, art. By providing mentoring alongside opportunities to produce work for publication, the bursary intends to encourage art writing within the West Midlands, giving a platform for new writers to develop their practice and professional networks.


The selected writer will receive:

*  Three half-day mentoring sessions with this is tomorrow editors James Smith and Maggie Gray, focusing on research and writing styles for reviews and interviews. Working with James and Maggie, the bursary awardee will produce one review and one interview for publication on thisistomorrow.info and tpwestmidlands.org.uk 

*  Three half-day mentoring sessions with a writer identified following the selection process by Jane Rolo, (Director, Bookworks) focusing on creative writing styles and practice. The bursary awardee, with the support of their mentor, Grand Union and Eastside Projects, will produce one piece of writing as art, for presentation, publication or performance.

*  The bursary awardee will receive a £1500 fee payable in three stages over nine months.

Deadline: 27 July 2012

 

The project will run from October 2012 to June 2013 — a schedule for mentoring sessions and writing deadlines will be agreed at the start of the project. This opportunity is funded by Turning Point West Midlands.
