Jordan Broadworth in First You Dream: Celebrating 75 Years of the Nova Scotia Talent Trust.

JORDAN BROADWORTH: 
NS TALENT TRUST SCHOLARSHIP 1994

“Scholarships and awards play a crucial role in the development of young artists. I graduated from Nova Scotia College of Art and Design into the recession of the early 1990s. Looking back, I’m not sure how I managed. I know there were plenty of miss-steps and false starts. The Nova 

Scotia Talent Trust came through at a critical juncture. The Scholarship enabled me to complete a body of work for a solo exhibition at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia. That exhibition was key to the rest of my career and the Nova Scotia Talent Trust made it possible.” 

Join us for the Opening Reception on Saturday, May 25 at 2 p.m. at MSVU Art Gallery in Halifax.
