Live Art Development Agency, DCMS Jerwood Creative Bursaries Scheme

The DCMS Jerwood Creative Bursaries Scheme was launched on 4th November by Ed Vaizey, Minister for Culture, Communications and Creative Industries, and Alan Grieve, Chairman of the Jerwood Foundation, at a reception which was held at the Jerwood Space in South London.

The Scheme, which will springboard talented young graduates into their careers in the arts, focuses on offering opportunities for individuals from less affluent backgrounds who are least able to support themselves through unpaid internships, work experience or training.

The Live Art Development Agency offers Resources, Professional Development Initiatives, and Projects for the support and development of Live Art practices, and critical discourses in the UK and internationally.
The Agency is committed to supporting the high risk artists, practices and ideas of contemporary culture and particularly the practices of emerging artists, and artists from culturally diverse backgrounds.
The Agency's three key areas of activity - resources, professional development, and projects and initiatives - are informed by the guiding principles of working strategically, in partnership, and in consultation.
The Live Art Development Agency is a member of Live Art UK, the national network of Live Art promoters.
