Sir Hubert von Herkomer Arts Scholarship Programme
At HVH Arts we have a unique scholarship programme that aims to nurture and support particularly talented young artists. We recognise brilliance in some of our young people and every year we award students who have shown great vision, unique skills and talent, hard work and exceptional commitment to the arts. These students might not be able to gain this kind of recognition from their schools and we think it is extremely important to recognise their contributions to further nourish their self-esteem, growth and progression in the arts.
Scholars receive extra classes and tuition to really hone their craft. They receive 1-to-1 mentoring from professionals in their field and given additional teachings to help them continue with their passion.

It is an excellent way to boost a young person’s self esteem by displaying their work for their peers and families to see.
We hold gallery exhibits for our artists and screenings for our film scholars. The events are always a fantastic way to witness the amazing talent of the young people, and document how far they have come.
