Pleased to share that we’re recipients of the Henry Moore Foundation Artists Award 2025. Many thanks to @mary_griffiths__ for the nomination and @henrymoorefdn_grants for this recognition. Congratulations to all the other awardees. 

Fifty sculptors from across the UK will receive £2,000 each from the Henry Moore Foundation, UK, in the wake of the current cost-of-living crisis and funding cuts across the culture sector. The grants, which total £100,000 and are part of the Artist Award Scheme, are unrestricted and can be used to buy new materials, pay studio rent or bridge funding gaps.

Godfrey Worsdale, the director of the Henry Moore Foundation, says in a statement: “Unrestricted funding is rare, but it is often what artists need most. These awards honour Moore’s legacy by empowering sculptors to sustain and develop their practice, enabling them to create work that challenges, inspires and contributes meaningfully to public life.”

The recipients were nominated by a panel of 25 arts professionals representing each region in the UK and Northern Ireland. Panellists include Viviana Checchia, the director of Void in Derry, and Nicole Yip, the director of Spike Island in Bristol. The successful artists all incorporate sculpture in their work.
