Goldsmiths ACME Studio Award


2013 - 2018


The Award provides a graduate of the MFA course at Goldsmiths the opportunity to have a fully funded residency in a shared studio space, created by ACME in Stratford, East London. The aim of the award - for Artisa - was to offer a graduate the space and support to help them develop a sustainable practice; to make the difficult transition from University into the commercial art world. ACME provided excellent industry mentors – curators, writers and artists - selected by the winner, who helped to inform the development of their practice. Artisa provided part funding for the award, with a focus on supporting the creation of a new work of art for a final exhibition.
