The Procter Fellowship was established in 2001 in memory of Stephen Procter, Head of the Glass Workshop at The Australian National University from 1993 until 2000. The Fellowship also honours Stephen’s partner, Christine Procter Nicholson, who was a founder of the Fellowship and member of the annual selection panel.
The aim of the Fellowship is to assist Australian and international artists to work with and study glass 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.
The opportunity alternates annually between international and Australian-based artists. The Fellowship aims to support artists with working or educational opportunities significant to their artistic practice. The fellowship will be completed the same year unless otherwise agreed to.
