Founded in 2009 with the then-unorthodox idea of paying artists a regular income for exhibiting their work, Artiq's journey has surpassed all expectations. With an emphasis on championing emerging talent, Artiq supports artists at the early stages of their careers by providing paid opportunities, growth support, and a creative community to lean on and learn from.

To celebrate 15 years of Artiq’s mission, Fifteen brought together 15 contemporary artists who had been part of Artiq's journey, showcasing the remarkable talent Artiq—and its partners—nurtured over the past decade and a half.

To celebrate this milestone, we joined forces with Soho Revue. With a strong commitment to helping early-career artists, Soho Revue’s residency scheme and fast-growing programme of events is bringing emerging talent back into the centre of London.

Just like Artiq, the gallery embraces a transparent approach to working with artists and aims to maintain a nurturing relationship with those it exhibits

The exhibited artworks were for also sale, with 10% of proceeds directly benefiting the Renaissance Foundation, a London-based youth charity providing essential support to young carers and patients, empowering them to reach their full potential and pursue their dream careers.

Open to the public from September 3rd to September 7th 2024, the exhibition offered a unique opportunity for new audiences to explore a selection of Artiq's artists and to engage with their incredible work.
