The Syllabus is a 10 year artist-development program known as the Syllabus, will be funded by PS500,000 for Wysing Arts Centre in Cambridgeshire. Every year, 10 artists from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds will participate in an ambitious program executed across a nation-wide network of eight art organizations.

After an extraordinary 18-month period, “20/20” is the outcome of the urgent need for action in the world of art that goes beyond words and gestures.

This money comes following the announcement of an innovative research commission to investigate the reasons why students of minorities are excluded from art classes. The research will be carried out by the Runnymede Trust and Freelands Foundation.
