To celebrate the 5th anniversary of Revolv Collective, we’re delighted to announce the Revolv Award.

In addition to a programme of sessions designed by Revolv Collective, the 3 selected artists will receive tailored support to develop their practice.

Mentees will receive the following (including but not limited to): 




Unfolding over the course of a year, our co-created programme will be designed to build upon the Mentees’ artistic skills, cultivate their network and further their practice within the creative sector. We understand the difficulties facing early-career artists and find ourselves continually working to overcome the challenges posed by the arts industry. Drawing upon our real-life experiences and insights, we will provide attentive guidance aimed at nurturing the sustained development of our Mentees. The Revolv Award is about getting back to doing what we do best: collective learning, building relationships and nurturing growth.

Revolv Collective was founded in 2017 by the artists Krasimira Butseva and Lina Ivanova in the South of England, and later on it was joined by Ibrahim Azab, Lucas Gabellini-Fava, Victoria Louise Doyle, Alexander Mourant and Laura Bivolaru.

We look forward to receiving your application.
