Jerram Foundation has established an annual bursary place within Day School’s alternative arts education programme, directly supporting artist-led initiatives within the vibrant city of Bristol.
Day School is a year-long programme designed to support artists and professional development. Established in 2021 by Jack Lewdjaw and Karanjit Panesar, to offer a meaningful response to the ongoing depletion of UK arts education provision, Day School is facilitated by Natasha MacVoy.
As part of Day School the participant will have access to a shared studio space at St Anne’s House, Bristol, alongside monthly education days, creative guest visits, practice support and advice, opportunities, community projects and social occasions. This award will alleviate the financial burden of the year, enabling an artist to focus more time on their practice as they grow and develop ideas in this supportive environment.
Jerram Foundation is pleased to fund a bursary place with Day School for the second year running! Supporting artist-led initiatives, while also enabling artists to focus more time on their work, aligns with our aim to provide opportunities for emerging artists to develop their practice.
Open Call for Day School 2026/27 now open! All information on how to apply is available at: www.day-school.co.uk
Here are a few things the amazing Day School Artists have said….
“An inspiring, encouraging and supportive environment that is inclusive of everyone. Each session is always completely different to the last, bringing new approaches to an art practice. It has been invaluable to me.”
“Day School came at a time when I was really considering dropping out of the art world, it gave me the push I needed to consider myself an artist and keep going.”
“It was the best thing I have ever done, gave me so much confidence, developed my practice in such an interesting way and made some really great mates.”
“Going to Day School brought back the fun of doing art, it reminded me of why I started making art in the first place. Being in such a supportive and playful environment makes you fall back in love with making. I’ve met some incredible people through Day School and made some friends for life.”
