The Loewe Foundation / Studio Voltaire Award was established in 2021 to strengthen equitable representation and access in contemporary art and address the lack of affordable and secure workspaces for artists in London.
The 2025 awardees were selected from over 500 applicants by a panel composed of artists Anthea Hamilton and Elizabeth Price; Studio Voltaire’s director Joe Scotland and curator Dot Zhihan Jia; and Sepake Angiama, artistic director of the Institute of International Visual Arts.
The 2025 winners will move into their studios in September.
