The <strong>FUSE</strong> <strong>Glass</strong> Prize and <strong>Residency</strong><br />
program is a shining example of how<br />
collective philanthropic support can<br />
create great opportunities for artists and<br />
add extraordinary value to the work of<br />
arts organisations.<br />
The prize evolved from conversations that<br />
began in 2014 between committed glass<br />
art collectors Jim and Helen Carreker and<br />
JamFactory. The <strong>FUSE</strong> <strong>Glass</strong> Prize launched<br />
in 2016 and was funded then, as it is now,<br />
predominantly through private philanthropy<br />
and sponsorship.<br />
The Carrekers’ steadfast support has been<br />
ongoing. They gifted additional funds in<br />
2020 to enable significant evolution of the<br />
prize – including the development of the<br />
<strong>FUSE</strong> <strong>Glass</strong> <strong>Artist</strong> <strong>Residency</strong> in the alternate<br />
years of the prize. Most recently the Carrekers<br />
have very generously provided further funds<br />
to set up an endowment that will ensure this<br />
important new residency component will be<br />
well supported throughout this decade.<br />
With this latest commitment, the Carrekers’<br />
personal philanthropic support of <strong>FUSE</strong><br />
remains the most significant private support<br />
in JamFactory’s history.<br />
The <strong>FUSE</strong> <strong>Glass</strong> <strong>Artist</strong> <strong>Residency</strong> Exhibition<br />
at Carrick Hill has once again been made<br />
possible by the additional generosity of<br />
Pamela Wall OAM and Ian Wall AM<br />
(1931 - 2022) who have been committed<br />
and long-term supporters of Carrick Hill.<br />
The new purpose-built exhibition space,<br />
in which this exhibition is presented, was<br />
named the Wall Gallery in their honour.<br />
The <strong>FUSE</strong> <strong>Glass</strong> Prize is supported by the<br />
following donors; Jim and Helen Carreker,<br />
the Hon Diana Laidlaw AM, David McKee AO<br />
and Pam McKee, the David & Dulcie Henshall<br />
Foundation, Pamela Wall OAM and Ian Wall<br />
AM (1931 - 2022), Susan Armitage,<br />
Sonia Laidlaw and Maia Ambegaokar<br />
and Joshua Bishop.<br />
