Art School Commissions

Where emerging talent meets professional practice

Our Art School Commissions initiative supports final-year students to develop ambitious new work through a professional agency model. Selected artists receive a production budget, mentoring and curatorial support to take their ideas from proposal to public outcome. The result is a series of commissions that bridge education and early career practice, providing real projects, real clients and real audiences.
