The Oppenheim John Downes Memorial Trust

I'm pleased to say I have received a grant from the Oppenheim John Downes Memorial Trust. This will enable me to create a new body of paintings in 2023.

“The Oppenheim-John Downes Memorial Trust provides small scale grants to British artists, designers, writers and performers over the age of 30 who are experiencing financial difficulties in the pursuit of their careers.

The Trust was established under the will of Mrs Geraldine Elsie Downes on her death in December 1969. Mrs Downes named the Trust in memory of her father, the author E Phillips Oppenheim, and her son, John Downes.”
