DVSA Programs

Bursaries

ABOUT Our Bursary Program

At DVSA, we believe there’s an artist in all of us that needs to be nurtured. Making art provides a vital means for self expression and shaping how we engage with the world. It ignites our imagination, develops problem-solving and observational skills, and can improve our overall well-being by reducing stress and boosting confidence.

Through the generous support our community, DVSA is able to offer a limited number of bursaries for children, youth and adults who, because of financial reasons, are unable to attend DVSA classes and workshops.

Bursary application guidelines and tips

At this time, bursaries are available only to those who can demonstrate crucial financial or personal circumstances that limit their ability to attend DVSA.
