The Helen Lempriere Travelling Art Scholarship

The Helen Lempriere Travelling Art Scholarship is an annual scholarship of $60,000 offered by the NSW Government through Arts NSW with the support of the Helen Lempriere Bequest.

The Scholarship enables a NSW visual artist at the beginning of their career to undertake a program of professional development for one to two years.

The key focus of the program must be international but may also include national activities. Some of the activities eligible under the program include short-term courses and training, residencies, internships and mentorships with recognised professional artists and institutions.
