Cockpit Arts and the Greater London Area  (GLA) Award

The GLA have been awarding a bursary each year for a maker at Cockpit since 2016. We have been able to spread these over a wide range of techniques and ages. We see the importance of encouraging those who are capable in their field, but need expertise and advice not only to develop their making skills, but also to develop business skills. Cockpit offers both the space to work and the business coaching, which is so vital. All of our previous recipients have prospered.

Koestler Arts Exhibition at the Royal Festival Hall Night Owls and Abstractions!

 The Koestler Trust takes art into prisons and other secure units to help prisoners develop. They hold an annual exhibition at the Royal Festival Hall and make (small) awards to those chosen to exhibit.

For many years the Greater London Area has supported them by giving money for awards to young offenders for their art. Several other Arts Societies also now give awards.

This fascinating (and free) exhibition runs from 31st October to 14th December, open at the following times:

Tuesday – Wednesday: 10am-8pm
