Material bursary

Anything you buy to support your practice can be reimbursed by our bursary fund up to £50. This can include materials, sketchbooks, reference books, tickets to see exhibitions, or costs for printing artwork. To find out more send us an email (please note: you will need to know your bank details and have the receipts for your purchases)

Artist Reference Library:

We are building an online library with resources and tools for those unable to attend our Sunday sessions, or who missed a particular workshop. We also invite members to add their own resources and prompts to this.

Open door policy:

No booking is needed to attend Sunday sessions, and you only have to attend what you can and want to. All QYAC workshops are completely free.
