We are delighted to announce that the winner of the Cass Art x Phoenix Studio Award 2025 is… Laurence Tidy!

The standard of applications this year was exceptionally high, however, Laurence stood out for his innovative use of contemporary art materials combined with discarded and reusable objects. His thoughtful engagement with art historical assemblage practices particularly impressed the judging panel, and we are really looking forward to welcoming Laurence to Phoenix.

This award is a collaboration between Cass Art, Phoenix Art Space, and the University of Brighton to provide support for emerging artists to continue developing their practice after graduation through a free studio for one year at Phoenix.
