Artist Development

Creative Scholarship: Application Strategies & Processes was an online artist-development webinar designed to help emerging artists and creative practitioners better understand the scholarship and opportunity application process. The session focused on practical strategies for identifying suitable scholarships and opportunities, understanding application requirements, presenting creative work and skills effectively, and developing stronger applications for degree programmes, Master's and PhD opportunities, and artist residencies. The programme brought together perspectives from artists and from career- and education-focused practitioners to demystify a process that can often feel inaccessible to emerging creatives.

It marked an early expression of The Ona Hub's commitment to artist development, attracting more than 50 registrations and creating spaces where emerging practitioners can acquire the knowledge, tools and confidence needed to advance their practices and navigate the wider cultural and academic ecosystem.
