Established in 2014 by the Arts Council, the Rosy James Memorial Trust Award stems from the generosity of Rosemary James (Rosy), a devoted local arts patron. Hailing from Belfast, Rosy dedicated her life to the arts. Upon her passing in 2010, she generously bequeathed over £500,000 to support artists and craft makers in advancing their careers.
Previous award recipients include glass artists Alison Lowry, ceramicist Eleanor Wheeler and sculptor John Rainey, Sheena Devit and ceramicist, Anne Butler and furniture designer, Brian McKee.
