Applications are open for the Jonathan Harvey Tenant Award 2026

We are pleased to announce the re-opening of the award named in honour of Acme’s Co-Founder Jonathan Harvey OBE, recognising Acme artist tenants who have made a long-term commitment to their arts practice.

This award supports an artist who has been practising since 1995 or before and recognises the sustained commitment artists make to their practice over time.

Across London, vital provision and opportunities are focused on emerging or early-career artists, however many established working artists operate in difficult circumstances or struggle to progress due to caring responsibilities, financial precarity and many other factors.

With this award, we are seeking to address some of the significant barriers artists may face in sustaining careers long-term.
