Freelands Foundation is offering applications for the Freelands Studio Fellowships 2027 for artists with a studio-based practice or practice that would benefit from full-time studio space, working in any medium, who has received an undergraduate or master’s degree from any of its seven partner art schools.

Freelands Foundation believes in the intrinsic value of art and that making is fundamental. Its vision is to increase the status of art education, enable equality of access and promote material literacy. The Foundation supports this important work in formal education settings, in galleries and art organisations, and by learning through artistic practice. Its charitable programme provides vital funding through grants, awards, fellowships and residencies. It also commissions innovative action research to inform the Foundation’s future support and to help make progress across the sector. At the Foundation’s home in London, as well as online, there is a programme of lively discussions, workshops and events for teachers, artists, gallery and art professionals, alongside a growing a library of inspiring art education resources. Freelands Foundation was set up in 2015 by Elisabeth Murdoch. It is a registered charity (number 1162648).
