ABOUT THE FOUNDATION

As a community of artists, architects and designers, the Grimshaw Foundation is putting creativity back on the map. We are committed to reconnecting the importance of creativity to young people and making creative careers, particularly in the built environment, accessible to all.

The Grimshaw Foundation works with a diverse range of young people (aged 11-15 years) - addressing gender, social and economic equity –  helping them to navigate their creative career options and the different pathways to further education. 

More about us
RIBA + Grimshaw Foundation Annual Art Lecture

The 2024 RIBA + Grimshaw Foundation Annual Art Lecture returns, bringing together the interdisciplinary worlds of art and architecture.

This year the lecture will be given by Guyanese-British sculptor Hew Locke, followed by a conversation and questions with writer and curator Ekow Eshun.

The lecture will take place on Thursday 5th December at the RIBA in London. 

Launched in 2022 as a collaboration between RIBA and the Grimshaw Foundation, the lecture series supports the aspirations of the two organisations: elevating creativity as an essential skill for the future and creating opportunities for young people from diverse backgrounds to explore and engage with the worlds of art, design, and architecture.
