.- Hackney artist Lexi Zelda Stevens used to earn her living working on live-events like Glastonbury festival and Londons large-scale public events, making art work alongside. One week last March her years work vanished in the space of a week, similar to many of the friends and colleagues she had built her career with over the last decade.
10 months on and she is working with artists across the UK to provide coaching support in these challenging times, reaching over 70 artists in 2020. This month she launches a Bursary for 25 artists and people working in the arts, who live or work in Hackney, Newham, Tower Hamlets or Waltham Forest. The Bursary is in association with Civic State & Hackney Wick Underground and supported by the Foundation for Future Londons Westfield East Bank Creative Fu
