LOEWE FOUNDATION / Studio Voltaire Award

Applications are now open for the LOEWE FOUNDATION / Studio Voltaire Award. A major award to increase opportunities for underrepresented artists.

Established in 2021, the LOEWE FOUNDATION / Studio Voltaire Award benefits seven artists with two years of support through rent-free studio space, professional development opportunities and a bursary.

The award has been developed in direct response to the need for affordable and secure workspace for artists in London, the availability of which has decreased significantly. The award aims to support artists who experience reduced opportunities due to economic precarity and limited financial means.

The LOEWE FOUNDATION / Studio Voltaire Award aims to cultivate spaces where artists can connect in a supportive studio environment that facilitates creative possibilities, risk-taking, experimentation and exchange.

The LOEWE FOUNDATION / Studio Voltaire Award celebrates talent, individuality and original thinking within contemporary art practice. The award supports artists at all stages of their careers, including emerging and under-represented artists, particularly those who are marginalised or experience intersecting forms of discrimination.

The programme aims to increase and strengthen equitable representation and access and amplify artistic voices across class, race, gender, sexuality and disability.

The two–year programme provides a range of support, including:

- A rent–free workspace

-A bursary of £5,000 for each artist

-An individualised programme of mentoring and professional development

-Curatorial and pastoral support

-Access to local and international audiences via public events programming
