Cass Art Young Artist Bursary Prize

Cass Art are offering to take a young artist 30 and under (student or otherwise) to the next level of their artistic career by offering an additional prize at Paint Out Norwich this year to the best young artist.

The prize will include free art materials for a year worth £500 to spend online and further opportunities. Cass Art were a sponsor of prizes to young and public entrants at the successful Paint Out Wells Sunrise mass ‘paint out’ in September and the forthcoming public ‘paint out’ at Mousehold Heath, Norwich. The prize is in addition to the chance to win other awards from the £5000 prize pool and the opportunity to have your works displayed and sold at an auction and exhibition over 5 weeks.

Cass Art Mission

Cass Art‘s mission to “fill this town with artists” fits well with Paint Out‘s own mission to get more plein air art out on to the streets:

“For nearly 30 years we have been on a mission to fill this country (its cities, towns and villages) with artists.”
