Tune In Bursary 2024

Each year, we are graced with the unique privilege of supporting the dreams and aspirations of young artists as they embark on their journey into the post-secondary world of the Arts. It's an honor that transcends mere financial assistance; it's a testament to our commitment to nurturing talent, fostering creativity, and empowering the next generation of artists. This commitment is brought to fruition through our partnership with the esteemed John C. Holland Awards—an organization dedicated to celebrating the achievements of Black youth who have demonstrated excellence in academics and a deep commitment to volunteerism within the Hamilton community.

The selection process, always a reflection of the depth and diversity of talent among our applicants, reminds us annually of the vibrant potential waiting to be unleashed. It is with great excitement and anticipation that we announce Ruth Masuka as this year’s bursary recipient. Ruth embodies the very essence of what this award seeks to honor: a profound dedication to the arts, coupled with an impressive academic track record and a heartfelt commitment to community service.

Ruth's journey thus far speaks volumes of her passion and determination to make a significant impact in the arts. Her work not only showcases exceptional talent and creativity but also conveys powerful messages that resonate deeply with her audience. We are thrilled to support Ruth as she takes this next step in her educational journey, confident that her future endeavours will be marked by the same brilliance and dedication she has shown so far.

The bursary, while a financial boost, is more importantly a symbol of belief in Ruth’s potential and aspirations. It’s an encouragement for her to continue pushing boundaries, exploring new horizons, and expressing her unique voice through her art. We look forward to witnessing the remarkable ways in which Ruth will contribute to the arts community, inspire her peers, and leave an indelible mark on the world through her artistic expressions.

In supporting Ruth, we are reminded of the importance of investing in our youth and the transformative power of the arts. It's a celebration of potential, a nod to the future, and a commitment to the continued flourishing of the arts within our community and beyond.

Congratulations, Ruth Masuka, on this well-deserved recognition. Your journey in the arts is just beginning, and we are honored to be a part of it. Here’s to the remarkable achievements that await you, and to the profound impact you will undoubtedly make in the world of the arts.
