The Peut Guard Artist Award was established in 2023 by artist Eugene Macki MRSS https://www.eugenemacki.com/ Its primary aim is to provide a supportive and enabling platform for artists who identify as Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (non-white) within the UK. By focusing on their artistic practice, the award seeks to help these artists gain visibility and recognition in the broader art community. We look forward to receiving your applications and celebrating the diverse talents and perspectives that enrich the UK's artistic landscape.

The successful applicant will join The Grange Project In Residence Programme, residing for 10 days (9 nights), 10 - 19 August 2026, and will join other artists as part of an immersive residency to focus solely on their practice without any prescribed outcomes. The Peut Guard Artist Award will cover all costs associated with the residency, although travel expenses will be the responsibility of the selected artist.
