Founded in 2017, the ACS Studio Prize offers recent graduates the chance to win £6,000 to contribute to the cost of an artist’s studio in a UK city of their choice.
As the premium collecting society for the administration of the Artist’s Resale Right (ARR) and copyright, the Artists’ Collecting Society (ACS) realises how difficult it is for emerging artists to focus on their practice, especially after leaving university. The ACS Studio Prize was founded with this in mind.
The 2024 exhibition will take place at Gurr Johns’ St James’s first-floor gallery between 1 October – 4 October 2024 with the winner of the Prize announced on 1 October at the 2024 ACS Studio Prize x Gurr Johns Exhibition Private View.
