New work shared by Ben Hopkins

I am delighted to share these images Ben’s of recent work.

Ben Hopkins from East Lothian is one of the successful applicants from a recent funding round. He applied for financial help with his studies at a prestigious art school in Barcelona, where he has now been awarded a scholarship. He hopes to continue to study art with a view to being able to support himself as an artist. I think these works in oils and in pencil and charcoal show great talent and wish Ben every success in the future.

If you have a talent as an artist or musician and the drive to succeed, please make an application. The Trust may be able to help you, as it has Ben.
