Artist Awards
In early 2021, SPACE awarded 20 talented visual artists with rent-free studio space, grants and professional support in order to relieve them from financial pressure for a period during which they could focus on their practice and progress within their chosen field.
SPACE Patrons & Friends graduate award artists are selected to ensure our awards benefit the most talented artists. Studio bursary partners include Alumno, Valerie Beston Artist Trust and New Contemporaries.
