We are delighted to share with you the second LARA Summer Scholarship Competition!

LARA London and LARA Bristol will host one first prize winner for the full two weeks of Summer School (1st-12th July 2019, worth £845). In addition, one runner up will be hosted for one week of the Summer School (subject to availability, worth £435).

Over the course of two weeks on Summer School students will be taught the essentials of cast drawing and figure drawing and painting, spending ten full days in the studios with 60 hours of contact time with LARA tutors.

If you would like to take part in the competition but would also like to guarantee your place on Summer School we advise booking ahead. Should you win first or second prize the relevant fees will be refunded to you. Please note we currently have a 15% discount on Easter School for sixth-form students. Please call the school to book your place and receive your discount. Proof of enrolment at a school/college is required.
