Current Exhibition

The Signature Art Prize

Originally established by our art partners DegreeArt and Contemporary Collective in 2006, the Signature Art Prize celebrates and identifies emerging artists’ ‘Signature Style’. It provides crucial support to young artists, helping them exhibit and promote their work in the often-challenging art landscape.

Past Exhibitions

Global Cultures: A Visual Journey

This exhibition highlights the richness of global cultures, showcasing unique traditions and aesthetics. It explores how cultures influence each other through travel and migration, with artists sharing their experiences of navigating diverse landscapes. The exhibition invites viewers to broaden their perspectives and celebrate cultural diversity, fostering unity and appreciation for unfamiliar places.

Nature’s Imprint: A Journey Through Time and Art

Through thought-provoking artworks, the exhibition aims to raise awareness about environmental issues and the importance of sustainable living practices. By showcasing innovative approaches to sustainability in art and design, it seeks to inspire viewers to adopt more eco-conscious behaviours in their daily lives.

Curated by our partners, the Contemporary Collective x Degree Art, ‘The Art of Belonging’ not only spotlights the remarkable talents of their emerging artists but pays homage to the artists that have called Bankside their home as “Artists in Residence” over the past five years.
