Artists residing in the Clarence Valley are invited to apply for the inaugural Yulgilbar Fellowship.

The Grafton Regional Gallery travelling fellowship, supported by the Yulgilbar Foundation, offers $10,000 to supports artists to take part in residencies and/or attend visual arts events, conferences, festivals, galleries and museums in Australia and overseas.

This fellowship is available to both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal artists or artist groups. In the case of a group application, the fellowship grant will be divided amongst the fellowship requirements of the group.

Grafton Regional Gallery Director, Jude McBean spoke of the diversity of the fellowship, “We encourage applications from visual artists of all mediums and levels who reside in the Clarence Valley Council area. Our aim with this Fellowship is to allow the successful applicant to explore what is important to them, their work and career,”
