For over 24 years, Acme’s Early Career Awards programme has supported artists at a pivotal stage, helping recent graduates establish sustainable careers after leaving art school. The programme provides artists with a 12-month rent-free shared studio, a programme of mentoring and skills development workshops, and the opportunity to initiate public outcomes.
From October 2026, the Early Career Awards programme will relocate to a large, new studio with adjoining project space at Acme’s Billet Road building in Waltham Forest.
