The Fellowship will be tenable at WAAPA in Perth and at its regional centres in Western Australia. The value of the award will be up to �4,000.
Appropriate qualifications in this case would be: a good degree or equivalent at an approved tertiary institution and suitable evidence of postgraduate visual arts achievement and experience.

Applications should be made on the Visual Arts Fellowship form and should include a CV, the names of three referees, and a statement on the proposed project. Applicants may also provide up to 6 slides of their work or other relevant supporting material. Please note that no other application form will be accepted. Incomplete applications will be considered ineligible. The application form and appendices should reach the Secretary, Sir Robert Menzies Centre for Australian Studies, no later than 4 June 1999.
