ACS Studio Prize 2025

The Studio Prize was established after a number of our members’ spoke of the economic challenges they faced when starting their artistic careers. ACS realises how difficult it is for recent graduates to focus on their art, especially after leaving university. The ACS Studio Prize was founded to help.

ACS is delighted to announce that this year’s Studio Prize will be judged by Victoria Miro, Melanie Gerlis, Hester Westley and Harriet Bridgeman.

Eligibility: If you are a national of the UK, EEA, Australia or New Zealand and are an undergraduate or postgraduate university student on an accredited art course who is about to graduate, or if you have graduated from a university accredited art course within the last four years, and you work in pictures, collage, painting, sculpture, tapestry, ceramics, glassware or photography, then you are also eligible to apply for the prize.

What you get: ACS is offering a recent graduate £6,000 to contribute to the cost of an artist’s studio in a UK city of their choice.
