rabih hage bursary
for creative talents and social impact
Launching in Spring 2025, the ‘Rabih Hage Bursary’ finds its origins in the creative sensibility of Architect and Interior Designer Rabih Hage, and his longstanding and recognised patronage of emerging creative talent.
An annual programme of mentorship and financial support is designed to promote the next generation of Designers and Makers, The ‘Rabih Hage Bursary’ will help its recipients gain traction across an established network of collectors, patrons, galleries and the wider creative industry.
The specific aim of The ‘Rabih Hage Bursary’ is to offer opportunities to individuals from both the UK and further afield. The Bursary is focused on promoting diversity and inclusion, seeking out those most in need of support. The Bursary aims to enable the recipient to complete a body of work, which will then be publicly presented.
