About the Gary Tricker Summer School Scholarship fund:
PCANZ is excited a new fund was been created in 2023 to support the Summer School Scholarship, now named the Gary Tricker Summer School Scholarship.
The Gary Tricker Summer School Scholarship fund has been created thanks to the Gary Tricker deceased estate through the sale of his studio items.
PCANZ is hugely grateful to the family and the estate, and to those who worked tirelessly towards setting up of the fund. It was a massive undertaking by the PCANZ team - Lynne and Alan Wilburn, Rosalie and Jack Thompson, Kathy Boyle and Heather Partel. Huge thanks to all who made this possible.
Gary Tricker was an Honorary member of PCANZ. You can find out more about him in the Stuff obituary here and p38 in PROOF, the PCANZ 2023 publication.
