THE ABBEY SCHOLARSHIP AND
ABBEY FELLOWSHIPS FOR
PAINTERS
The Abbey Council offers an annual Scholarship
and
Fellowships in painting at the British School at Rome.
The nine-month
Abbey Scholarship is usually given to an exceptionally promising emergent
painter, while the three-month Abbey Fellowships are awarded to mid-career
painters with an established record of achievement.
The Abbey
Scholarship and Abbey Fellowships offer all-expenses-paid residencies at the
British School in superb modern studios, with a stipend of up to £500 a
month for the Scholar and £700 for Fellows.
The British School is
a residential community of some 35 people, academic researchers in the visual
arts, humanities and architecture, as well as fine artists. It is centrally
situated, close to the Borghese Gardens.
Abbey Awards are open to
people of UK and US nationality, and to citizens of other countries provided
that they have lived in the UK or the US for at least 5 years. There is no age
limit. |
