Studio Voltaire has launched a new six month engagement programme which aims to support LGBTQ+ people during and after COVID-19, providing support for artists as well as opportunities for people to engage with arts and culture in direct response to their experiences. 

British artist Dawn Mellor has been commissioned to create their first permanent public artwork: a large—scale mural in Kingsbury, Brent, celebrating the life of local hero George Michael, who lived and went to school in the area.

We have launched specially commissioned new editions by France–Lise McGurn, Celia Hempton, Linder, John Booth and Leanne Ross. All sales directly support Studio Voltaire’s exhibition, learning and studio programmes.

Studio Voltaire is undertaking a £2.8 million capital project to expand and redevelop our current 10,500ft² site, creating 42% more artists’ studios, renovated exhibition space and new public spaces including a dedicated learning space, public courtyard garden, café and the first–ever permanent House of Voltaire.

For the first time ever, Studio Voltaire is presenting an ambitious year–long programme of offsite projects whilst we undertake The Studio Voltaire Capital Project. This programme celebrates some of the most pivotal commissions in our 26–year history.
