PARTNER

The Grimshaw Foundation is a registered charity. It receives no public funding and relies on the financial support of like-minded built environment. art and design organisations and individuals to deliver the workshops, talks and resources that benefit young people (aged 11-15) from diverse, underrepresented backgrounds.

Since 2021 we have worked with over 400 students, 10 schools and 20 teachers, all with the support of over 100 volunteers. However, with the right advocates, sponsorship, and collaborators, we know we can do so much more.

If you are a company, community organisation or individual who wants the opportunity to widen your impact, influence or engagement through the Foundation please get contact:

Our network of collaborators – working with the Foundation to deliver programmes and outcomes or providing specific expertise and engagement – are essential to the long-term ambitions of the Foundation.

We want to create a community of organisations and people who can leave a lasting impact on young people: helping build our future generation of creative thinkers. The Foundation has already successfully worked with professionals such as Sarah Wigglesworth Architects, Scale Rule and The Royal Albert Hall.

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.
