Studio Voltaire

For over twenty years, Studio Voltaire has championed emerging and underrepresented artists, allowing them to offer an alternative and agenda-setting view of contemporary art.

Many of their exhibitions are an artists’ first solo presentation in London. Investing in the production of new work that might not always be possible in commercial galleries or institutions, Studio Voltaire gives artists the chance to expand their practice, often working in residency in the gallery.

Within London there’s a real need and shortage of affordable artist workspace. The organisation started here because there was a lack of studio space in the local area, and came out of a need of provision.

Studio Voltaire plays a key role within the wider contemporary arts ecology, by supporting both emerging and underrepresented artists at a key point in their career.
