The Learning Connexion: E. Mervyn Taylor Scholarship

Ernest Mervyn Taylor was a notable New Zealand wood engraver, painter, illustrator, sculptor and designer. He was born in Auckland in 1906 but primarily lived and worked in Wellington. Mervyn was commissioned to create a mural to mark the opening of the Soil Bureau/DSIR building (Now known as The Learning Connexion) in 1962.

On display in the foyer entrance, the mural welcomed all who arrived. Taylor was part of the nationalist movement in New Zealand art, which sought to capture the particular qualities of this country’s landscape and culture.

The Learning Connexion is proud to honour the legacy of E. Mervyn Taylor and the historic DSIR buildings - now home to our vibrant community of creative staff and students - by offering The Learning Connexion: E. Mervyn Taylor Scholarship.

The Learning Connexion: E. Mervyn Taylor Scholarship is awarded to a multi-disciplined student, enrolling in The New Zealand Diploma in Creativity (Level 6).
