bursaries introduction The DE Bursary was first awarded in 2002. This came about following discussions amongst DE Board and DE Educational Advisory Board members who wished to foster the arts and encourage artists and to extend the DE's charitable activities beyond the annual exhibition. In 2007, following the death of former Advisory Board member David Gluck, the Bursary was renamed in his memory. It is an annual award, which, since 2005 has been awarded for drawing. Following an open submission call for entries, the educational advisory board, whose members are currently Tom Coates, James Lloyd, Nicholas Usherwood and Anita Klein, choose up to 6 short-listed artists who are invited to exhibit a selection of their works at the ING Discerning Eye Exhibition in November. The winner is selected by the Educational Board and announced at the artists' Private View on the first Thursday of the exhibition. The artists short-listed for The 2009 David Gluck Memorial Bursary for Drawing were James Allen, Sally Firino, Sarah Leonard, Freya Pocklington, Christopher Milton and Yanko Tihov, with the award going to Christopher Milton. 2009 BURSARY WINNER ~ Christopher Milton - view his winning presentation and the work of some of this year's runners-up on this year's bursary page past winners       Copyright © 2002-2010 The Discerning Eye ~ Web site by Shepperton Software |
