The bursaries offer:
• The opportunity to attend weekly life drawing sessions at Mall Galleries free of charge for a year, starting from January 2026.
• Untutored sessions take place on Friday evenings and selected Monday evenings, between 6pm and 8:15pm (understandably there might be times when artists are unable to attend sessions, however frequent absences may result in the bursary being withdrawn).
• Currently there are 44 sessions per year. Usually around 70 artists work from 3 models: the 'quick' 15 / 30 minute nude poses, the two-hour 'long' nude pose and the two-hour clothed portrait pose.
