The Gilbert Bayes Award for early career sculptors is a prestigious prize which supports the transition to professional practice and raises industry profile.
The guest judges for the Gilbert Bayes Award 2024 are Clemency Cooke and Charlotte Latham, founders of Cooke Latham Gallery that launched in December 2018 in a 19th Century warehouse in Battersea, London. The gallery supports an international roster of emerging and mid-career artists and is renowned for the scope and ambition of its programme and as an incubator of emerging artistic talent. Cooke Latham Gallery work with artists to create daring, site specific installations in which they can fully realise the concepts their works engender. Community is a core value of the gallery, and one that is cultivated through an active performance programme and series of in-conversation events.
