The ACS Studio Prize offers recent graduates £6,000 to contribute to the cost of securing an artist's studio in a UK city of their choice. Now in its tenth edition, the prize addresses economic challenges faced by artists starting their careers, particularly the difficulty of finding affordable studio space. Shortlisted finalists gain exposure through a group exhibition at Gurr Johns International in London. The 2026 jury includes art dealer Philip Mould OBE, artist David Dawson, National Gallery Director Sir Gabriele Finaldi, and ACS Chairman Viscountess Bridgeman CBE.
