This unique Hunter-based scholarship program is in its fifteenth iteration, and was established by patrons Vicki and Bruce Woods in honour of their dear friend Brenda Clouten in 2005.

Hunter-based artists 35 years and under were invited to apply and to include their plans for the scholarship to support their practice through either study, travel or studio support.
