‘Together We Thrive’ presented by Culture& and Sotheby’s Institute of Art, in collaboration with Gallery OCA, with Cromwell Place as Venue Partner, is a fundraising exhibition for the Cultural Leaders Programme, featuring works donated by leading and emerging artists.
Established in 2022, the Cultural Leaders Programme is the first of its kind in the contemporary art world in the UK, designed to empower and nurture the next generation of diverse leaders. The funds raised by the exhibition will go into the London Living Wage Bursary provided for scholars selected onto the Programme.
'Together We Thrive' features new works created especially for the fundraiser in response to its title by artists including: Adelaide Damoah; Anthony Daley; Boo Saville; Caitlin Flood-Molyneux; Candida Powell Williams; Charlotte Colbert; David MacDiarmid; Errol Francis; Elena Njoabuzia Onwochei-Garcia; Gareth Cadwallader; Gordon Cheung; Hassan Aliyu; Hurvin Anderson; Hester Finch; Jane Hayes Greenwood; Julianknxx; Katasha Rose; Leo Crane; Lucia Pizzani; Lynn Parotti; Martin O’Brien; Miranda Forrester; Nina Bombina; Peter Liversidge; Philip Colbert; Sandy McInnes; Simon Bejer; Sola Olulode; Xavier Laurent Leopold; and Yvadney Davis.
Visitors and supporters are invited to enter a prize draw for a chance to win one of the new artworks by donating to the Cultural Leaders Programme. Donations start at £25, and all contributions received will go towards the London Living Wage Bursary for the 2024/25 cohort of scholars, designed to alleviate the cost of living in London. By eliminating the burden of loans or employment, the bursary makes the Programme accessible to the widest possible range of bright and promising individuals from historically underrepresented backgrounds and enables them to take full advantage of the opportunities that the MA and Programme provide.
The Cultural Leaders Programme offers three fully funded scholarships per year from 2023/24 to 2025/26 to pursue one of the Institute's one-year, full-time Masters programmes: MA in Contemporary Art; MA in Art Business; or MA in Fine and Decorative Art and Design.
Sotheby's Institute of Art has committed to waiving 100% of the tuition fees for the students selected for the Cultural Leaders Programe for the next three years.
