The Stephen Procter Fellowship​

The Stephen Procter Fellowship was established in 2001 in memory of Stephen Procter, Head of the Glass Workshop at the ANU School of Art & Design, 1993–2000. The aim of the Fellowship is to assist Australian and international artists working in glass to work/study abroad. Travel and the experience of other cultures were very important to Stephen and this fellowship is intended to be a significant and exciting link between glass communities around the world.

Each year the Fellowship provides $5,000 (AUD) towards travel and a 4 to 8 week residency within the Glass Workshop. The fellowship aims to support artists with working or educational opportunities significant to their artistic practice.

The fellowship ideally needs to start and be completed in the same year. See the Fellowship Outline for further details.

The School is reviewing the terms of the Procter Fellowship. The guidelines for applications for 2024 will be made available in June 2023.
