Archie Education Bursary

We want to broaden the range of people able to access our workshop programme with the Archie Education Bursary. To fund it, over 50 artists, ranging from those beginning their careers to established figures with international reputations, have customised the covers of sketchbooks with their artwork.

Initially displayed alongside the un/re/dis/cover exhibition during Artweeks 2022 exhibition in OVADA’s warehouse, our collection is now up for sale on our website.

Those purchasing one will be free to use it, taking inspiration from the design on its cover, or to keep it as an artwork in its own right, whilst supporting our ambition to diversify our classroom.

Whose sketchbook will you buy...perhaps you will find one made by your favourite artist?

We’d like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to all the participating artists who generously supported the Archie Education Bursary and to everyone who has bought one so far!
