The Platform Graduate Award is an initiative of CVAN South East to support emerging graduate artistic talent to further their practice following graduation. Established in 2012, the award includes a £2,000 bursary donated by the four venues and a 12-month bespoke mentoring package. It is awarded to an outstanding graduate from one of 12 participating regional higher education partners. Phoenix Art Space will select two – five graduates from each of its partner universities: University of Brighton and East Sussex College, Hastings. Nominees will then have the opportunity to participate in a group exhibition at Phoenix Art Space in the autumn.

We are now inviting 2023 BA graduates from art courses at University of Brighton and East Sussex College to submit applications.
