Congratulations to Eilen Itzel Mena who has been awarded the Adrian Carruthers Award 2024!

The Adrian Carruthers Award is a partnership between Acme and the Slade, generously supported by the Adrian Carruthers Memorial Fund in memory of Adrian, a Slade student who died young. This award was instigated by Adrian Carruthers’ family with the goal of providing a bridge between college and professional practice for MA/MFA graduates from Slade School of Fine Art. The award includes a bursary, rent-free studio space (from January the following year) and mentoring programme tailored specifically to the graduate’s practice.

Thank you to Charlie Coffey from Acme and artist Emma Hart who were part of the selection panel.
