Applications are now open for The Prudence MacLeod Art Prize 2027.

With support from the Lansdowne Foundation, the Prudence MacLeod Prize supports an emerging Australian artist to undertake a six-month residency at Acme Studios, London. Acme Studios will provide work/​​​live studio accommodation and a program of support and professional development for a NAS alumni artist. Resident artists are expected to contribute to the program and the artist community, and to deliver a small-scale public outcome at the end of the residency, with the support of Acme and within the budget allocated. 

This opportunity is designed to support an emerging artist at a vital time in their career, providing a step forward into an expanded, international context. The artist will live and work in London, one of the world’s great art cities, in a supportive artist community. This important opportunity will enable the artist to forge professional international contacts, explore London’s art world and rich cultural resources, and produce a new body of work.

• Return travel to London, arranged for the artist by NAS
• Studio accommodation and workspace at Acme Studios for 6 months
• Living stipend of $AUD3,500 per month for 6 months (total $AUD21,000)
