Travel Award for Artists

The British School at Athens is delighted to offer one travel award for UK-based artists (generally defined), whose work is broadly connected to the mission statement of the BSA. Scholarships will cover:

• One return flight to Greece
• One month’s membership of the British School at Athens, granting full access to all BSA facilities and a museum pass for free access to archaeological sites and museums in Greece.

• Ten days of accommodation in the BSA hostel. (The stay in Greece can be extended at the candidate’s own expense)

Candidates should have a clear plan of how they will spend their time in Greece. This might involve (but is not limited to) visiting galleries, collections and museums, conducting research in the BSA library, accessing the BSA collections, using the BSA’s Eleutherios Art Studio, and networking with local artists. Preference may be given to candidates who have not visited Greece before, and who have no access to other sources of funding.

A link to the application portal will be available on this page soon. Recipients of awards are required to submit a short report to the Assistant Director on the use of the grant within a month of completing the trip to Greece.

The closing date for receiving applications and letters of reference is Friday 25th February 2022. Awards should be taken up by the end of the academic year 2021-2022.

If you are interested in applying, please provide your email address and a link to an online form will be sent to you.
