Experimental composer, producer and multidisciplinary artist Gwen Siôn has been named as one of twenty artists shortlisted for the Arts Foundation Futures Awards 2023.
The annual Arts Foundation Futures Awards identify, support and celebrate the UK’s most promising artists and creatives at a pivotal moment in their career, providing £65,000 in unconditional grant funding, awarding five transformative £10,000 Fellowships, with all Shortlisted Artists receiving £1,000 towards the development of their practice.
The awards mark 30 years of the Arts Foundation’s support for independent artists and creatives in the UK since it was founded in 1993, and whose alumni include eminent artistic practitioners, such as Wayne McGregor, Asif Kapadia, Ali Smith, Rufus Norris and Lynette Yiadom-Boakye.
The five winning Fellows receiving £10,000, will be revealed at an Award Ceremony on 23 February 2023, presented in partnership with Leeds 2023: Year of Culture.
