Outset Contemporary Art Fund is a hub for creative funding solutions for contemporary art with patronage at its core Under curatorial guidance, supports exhibitions, productions, museum acquisitions and capital campaigns to benefit institutions that range in scale from grassroots organisations to leading international museums. Outset’s role is to establish and nurture relationships that allow patrons and corporate organisations to support selected art projects through financial assistance and strategic advice.
Studiomakers is an initiative led by Outset in association with Second Home, the Greater London Authority, PLP Architecture, Create and Bolton & Quinn. In response to the Artists’ Workspace Study, a report commissioned in 2014 by the Mayor of London, which predicted the possible loss of up to 3,500 artists’ workspaces in London in the next 5 years, Studiomakers aims to provide entrepreneurial solutions in response to serious funding needs. Partnering with organisations in the property industry – from local authorities to landowners and private developers – the initiative looks to retain existing and create new affordable artist workspaces in London and the UK.
