Studio Voltaire is one of the UK’s leading not–for–profit arts organisations. Their pioneering public programmes of exhibitions, participation projects, live events and off–site commissions have gained an international reputation.

Studio Voltaire has an outstanding track record of supporting artists at a pivotal stage in their careers. They champion emerging and under represented artists, placing a great emphasis on risk–taking and experimentation, offering an alternative and agenda–setting view of contemporary art. Many of their commissions are an artist’s first solo exhibition in London. Studio Voltaire invests wholly in the production of new work that might not always be possible in commercial galleries or larger institutions, giving artists the chance to expand their practice, often working in residence in the gallery.

Studio Voltaire provides a much–needed resource of affordable and accessible on–site studios which house over 45 artists, supporting the development of a diverse range of individual and collective practices, from recent graduates to internationally recognised practitioners. Studio Voltaire commissions a wide range of participatory activities and projects working in collaboration with artists, local organisations, schools and community groups. Projects take place in the gallery as well as offsite.

Studio Voltaire is a registered charity and part of Arts Council England’s National Portfolio. Their exhibition, participation and events programmes are fundraised for in their entirety through the kind patronage of individuals, sales of their renowned limited edition works and funding from charitable trusts and foundations.
