Antonia Showering: New Contemporaries/ SPACE Studio Bursary Winner 2019

We are delighted to announce that Antonia Showering (BNC 2018) is the fifth recipient of the New Contemporaries’ Studio Bursary with SPACE. From 1 April 2019, Antonia will have access to a free studio in Deborah House, Hackney, where she will develop her practice. In addition to the studio, Antonia will also be able to tap into professional development support provided by both organisations.

Antonia says: 'I am thrilled to be able to spend the next 12 months in a SPACE studio where I can focus all my attention on my practice, without worrying about the financial pressures of a studio. Living in London is perfect in terms of the number of exciting exhibitions popping up all over the city but a downside is how expensive it can be. I am really grateful Bloomberg New Contemporaries and SPACE joined forces and offered this opportunity, as it couldn’t come at a better time at this early stage of my career.'
