Bankside Hotel x Contemporary Collective, in collaboration with the Artists Futures Fund, are proud to present Unframed Futures, this October’s residency showcase of the Artists Futures Fund Fellows.
The Artists Futures Fund supports talented emerging artists facing socio-economic and health barriers, providing the opportunities they need to flourish creatively and professionally through Fellowships and Awards.
Through the Contemporary Collective x Bankside Hotel Artist Residency programme, Fellows gain access to a professional studio environment, the chance to exhibit their practice, and opportunities to connect with the vibrant Bankside community.
A First-of-its-Kind Showcase
Co-curated by Contemporary Collective and Hannah Wallis, an independent curator specialising in artist development and socially engaged practice, Unframed Futures marks the inaugural joint residency showcase between Bankside Hotel’s Art Yard Studio and the Artists Futures Fund.
From 10–30 October 2025, the Art Yard Studio will be transformed into a dynamic group exhibition of painting, sculpture, photography, and mixed media. Together, these works highlight diverse voices and innovative practices, reflecting the Fund’s mission to open new pathways for contemporary art.
