Sample Images from the Phoenix Bursary Publication.

Being led by Fine Art Photography Graduate, and Phoenix Bursary recipient, Marcus Peabody, the two images below are a teaser for the publication being produced in time for the exhibition. Pulling together images, text and stories from the beginning of the project to the run up of the exhibition Marcus has aimed to produce something that tries to capture the whole story of the last year. We can't wait to see the finished publication at the Preview Night on the 23rd.

A sample page layout that each of the artists on the bursary will have. The above is for Matthew Bainbridge.

Press Coverage.

As the momentum builds up for the exhibition we're getting increasing publicity. Below is a selection from the past month. Special thanks to GSA marketing, The Skinny and The List for pulling these articles and advertisements together. 

The Phoenix Bursary Office June 2015

We thought we'd take the opportunity to show you our office windows and the things stuck to them. As you can see we have an impressive collection of postcards sent from bursary holders from all over the world - News paper clippings collected over the months - a couple of painting stretchers and of course the take away menus of the local eating establishments..........all the essentials to run a bursary project.

Phoenix Exhibition Poster Selected

It is with great pleasure that we can now share with you the poster design for the Phoenix Bursary Exhibition. After much deliberation the final image selected was 'Solid State' by Fine Art Photography Graduate Sam Hailey-Watts. Be sure to keep you eye out for this, very exciting.

Drygate bottle designs and launch event.

The final six have been selected ready for the 1st anniversary celebrations of the brewery. It was a great project to be a part of.

Phoenix Busary at Drygate

Several Phoenix Bursary Holders, shortlisted by Drygate, visited the brewery on Friday 27 March 2015.  One daring participant chewed on a tablet of a new experimental American Hops. 
Some Bursary Holders will be selected to make artwork for the Drygate one-year anniversary brew. Others will be involved in making the special Phoenix brew for the Phoenix Bursary Exhibition in July 2015.
