Studio Voltaire
October 4th, 2009 § Leave a Comment
Established in Clapham in 1994, Studio Voltaire is the first and only artist-led gallery and studio complex in South West London. The organisation helps supports artists at a pivotal stage in their careers through a varied and ambitious public programme of exhibitions, collaborations, community projects, live events and off-site projects.
Studio Voltaire offers a much needed resource of affordable studios to London based artists, including two resident groups of artists with learning difficulties.
The organisation also runs a number of residencies for artists based outside of London.
“Studio Voltaire has become one of the most energising spaces in London. Its ad-hoc approach and knack for spotting young talent makes it a formidable presence on the city’s art scene.”
The Guardian
“Studio Voltaire has spearheaded the recent renaissance of London’s vibrant history of alternative spaces. Anticipating the exciting new leadership at spaces such as Chisenhale Gallery and The Showroom. Studio Voltaire has become a South London lightning rod for artists, curators, critics and collectors.”
Stuart Comer, Curator @ Tate Modern
