About Helen Dangar
Helen Dangar (1944-2015) was an accomplished academic at the University of New England, and teacher who taught French at the New England Girls’ School for twenty years.
Helen was very passionate about art, music, and literature, and took a great interest in the artistic wellbeing of the Armidale community.
The Helen Dangar Memorial Arts Bursary celebrates her contribution, and creates a lasting memorial to a much-missed person who gave so much energy and vitality to NERAM and the cultural life of Armidale and the wider region.
NERAM and its supporters established the Helen Dangar Memorial Art Bursary to help local artists advance in their chosen career path.
Each year, the fund will support a local artist from the New England region attend a special professional or creative development activity.
The Bursary aims to create new opportunities for regional artists to improve their practice, continuing the generosity, passion, and support towards the arts that was evident throughout Helen’s life.
The Helen Dangar Memorial Art Bursary has been established with funds donated for the purpose by Bill Dangar, the Dangar family, and their friends and colleagues.
Friends of NERAM Inc, Packsaddle, and many NERAM supporters also made donations.
The NERAM Foundation manages the funds donated on behalf of the New England Regional Art Museum.
