The Clark Collection / Creative NZ Scholarship
The 2009 Scholarship has been awarded to Josephine Hughes, designer at the Hawke's Bay Museum & Art Gallery.
This scholarship is a remarkable opportunity for mid-career arts, heritage and decorative arts professionals to expand their (and New Zealand’s) knowledge of built-heritage and decorative arts. The Clark Collection / Creative NZ Scholarship enables one New Zealander to attend the prestigious Attingham Trust Summer School in England and participate in its exclusive three-week study course.
In addition, the Scholarship provides the recipient with privileged, relevant internships with up to four leading United Kingdom heritage and decorative arts organisations: Victoria & Albert Museum (V&A), The Royal Collection, English Heritage and The National Trust. The Scholarship holder will return to New Zealand with the aim of applying this knowledge and disseminating information learned.
This Scholarship is generously supported by Mr Errol Clark, Creative New Zealand and the NZ-UK Link Foundation.
