The Stanley Picker Gallery at Kingston University is seeking to appoint two contemporary practitioners to the Stanley Picker Fellowships in Design & Fine Art 2025.
Each Fellowship provides up to £16,000 and valuable access to the extensive material workshops, technical resources and expertise within Kingston School of Art and the wider University departments, to support a practice-based, innovative research project that will result in an exhibition of international standing at the Stanley Picker Gallery.
We are very excited that Kath Wood and Larry Achiampong will join Gallery Director David Falkner on our 2025 Fellowship selection panel. Larry is an artist, filmmaker and musician and former Stanley Picker Fellow, who premiered his solo exhibition A Letter, A Pledge with us last year, before being shortlisted for the Film London Jarman Award 2024. Kath has over 30 years experience in the UK visual arts sector and currently works in a freelance capacity with a diverse range of organisations and individuals, nationally and internationally. In 2023 she was appointed Chair of Stanley Picker Gallery & Dorich House Museum Advisory Group.
See our Fellowships pages for information on previous recipients of the Stanley Picker Fellowships and About to learn more about the Gallery and its wider programme. Watch a recording of the Pre-Application Q&A session from last year, with our Director David Falkner, our former Curator Borbála Soós and artist Larry Achiampong.
The Stanley Picker Gallery and our University partner-venue Dorich House Museum are committed to working ambitiously, innovatively and inclusively to foster equality and diversity across all of our activities and operations. We strongly encourage participation from all protected characteristics to achieve fairness of opportunity for all. We fully acknowledge our environmental responsibility and our duty to reduce our impact on the planet through transforming our working practices.
