The Florence Trust is so much more than just an artists' studio.

Housed in an inspiring Grade 1 listed Victorian church the trust provides the opportunity to work for one year with a small group of carefully selected artists, pushing the boundaries of their work and exploring new ideas.

The Trust offers an exceptional experience well beyond the normal provision of studio space with access to our networks, individual career support, and extra opportunities. For many artists, their period with us has been a turning point in their careers.

We also have a gallery space that is open to the public for exhibitions, events and by appointment.

The Florence Trust is a registered educational charity and is grateful for donations.
