The Grantham Art Prize exhibition presents a dynamic show of newly commissioned artworks by young and emerging art students who have collaborated with Imperial College London’s top climate and environmental researchers. 

The Grantham Art Prize was launched by Imperial College London and the Royal College of Art to create collaborations between up-and-coming artists and Imperial’s world-renowned climate and environmental researchers.

Six emerging artists were chosen by a panel of established artists, critics and scientists to receive the prize, and were commissioned to create artworks that would create conversations about the urgent issue of climate change.

About London Climate Action Week

As a major world city, London has a vital role to play in tackling climate change. London’s businesses and organisations are a global hub for expertise in finding solutions to cutting carbon emissions. We’re also leading the way in adapting to the inevitable impact of climate change. London Climate Action Week runs from 1-8 July. It’s a chance to share world-leading low carbon solutions and expertise, and highlight the action taking place in London. The aim is to show the wider UK and the rest of the world what practical changes we can make to tackle the climate emergency.
