The Gabriela Tudor Foundation, Bucharest, in partnership with the Ratiu Foundation, London, have launched an annual grant in the field of cultural management, in order to commemorate Gabriela Tudor. This grant aims to offer the possibility of professional development on a European level. The grant, with the value of £3500, will be presented yearly. It will consist in a stay of six weeks in the UK.
The committee selection – consisting of Ghislaine Boddington (UK), Ramona Mitrica (UK), Petra Bischof (CH), Irina Cios (RO) and Cosmin Manolescu (RO) – decided to award the first Gabriela Tudor grant to Corina Bucea, manager of the Paintbrush Factory, a new independent center founded by several cultural organisations, galleries and artists in Cluj-Napoca.
