Shelagh Cluett Trust

The Shelagh Cluett Trust, charity trustee (2019- present)

Shelagh Cluett was an inveterate traveller and her travels, mainly in India and the Far East, were a great source of inspiration for her work. Her sculpture, print, film and digital work reflects an open, yet thoroughly researched relationship with place, travel and image.

How would a small amount of money help you, or someone else you can think of, develop their work in a way that reflects this? The trustees invite people from Britain and abroad to write briefly to us with ideas, however small and apparently strange. We do not have strict criteria for our travel award, but prefer to follow recommendations and look at options on a case by case basis.

So far the trust has helped Ayesha Zulfiquar to come from Pakistan and enlarge her experience in Europe by studying at Chelsea and then as a guest artist at the Rijksacademie in the Netherlands.
