The Glasgow School of Art

Following the fire in the Mackintosh Building last year, which significantly impacted on final year School of Fine Art students, the GSA set up a special programme with support from the Scottish Government and academic institutions across the world. The Phoenix Bursary programme offered the graduates up to 15 weeks' studio time, a bursary and materials budget in order to develop their practice and create a new body of work. Around half of the artists stayed in Glasgow with others taking the opportunity to work overseas.
