Since our inception, Studio Voltaire has provided sustained and affordable workspace for hundreds of artists including Sonia Boyce, Monster Chetwynd, Lubna Chowdhary, Enrico David, Kaye Donachie, Anthea Hamilton, Rene Matić, Bod Mellor and Daniel Sinsel, and significant residencies for international artists including Gabriel Chaile (2023), Sunil Gupta (2020), Mary Reid Kelley and Patrick Kelley (2019), Sol Calero (2015), Judith Bernstein (2014), Nicole Eisenman (2012), Erika Verzutti (2009), Nairy Baghramian (2009) and Thea Djordjadze (2007).
Since our redevelopment in 2021, we now support 51 onsite artists with subsidised studios, new production facilities and bespoke professional development programmes. Our means-tested studio award, in partnership with LOEWE, directly increases accessibility and opportunities, specifically for artists with limited financial means.
At a time when funding and opportunities for emerging and underrepresented artists are steadily decreasing, Studio Voltaire's well established role as a vital platform at a crucial moment in their artistic journeys is more important today than ever.
