International Artist Bursary 2025

Our International Artist Bursary supports artists by providing the opportunity to travel abroad, where they can explore, create, and connect in a new environment.

The bursary covers the cost of a return flight, accommodation, and other living expenses. This year, the itinerary will be co-produced with the selected artist, allowing them to shape the experience in line with their creative vision. The bursary offers a unique chance to develop professional knowledge and build international connections that can support future artistic growth.

The successful applicant will keep a journal of their trip in a format of their choice and produce a video diary reflecting on their experiences and how these may inform their future work.

While this is an exciting opportunity for discovery and inspiration, applicants should be resilient and resourceful; solo international travel can be demanding and requires confidence, adaptability, and a high degree of self-sufficiency.

Who We Fund

• Residents of North Kensington, or individuals who work in or spend significant time in the area — it’s about community connection, not just postcode.
• Applicants aged 18 and above.
• Artists with an established body of work in any artistic medium and demonstrated through a portfolio.
• Artists with a clear commitment to enhancing their community.
• Applicants with a valid passport (required for international travel as part of the bursary).
