3. Providing paid art residencies to recent graduates to help kickstart their creative careers

As part of the paid art residencies, the artists will be going into schools, colleges, universities and local community groups to run workshops and further teach their artistic practice.

So far, the setting up of the society has been entirely funded by Richard Mead - an Associate Lecturer and photographer, but now we need to start apply for grants to bring in more expertise to help a wider range of people.
