London, U.K

Forma is a contemporary arts organisation that champions ideas and artists who address urgent social and political questions. Through a discursive process, we nurture artists’ creative vision and grow their ambition in order to develop collaborative projects that are career defining and lead to new major opportunities around the world. We pride ourselves in being an organisation that artists want to work with. We offer commissioning, fundraising and production expertise, and as a non-gallery-based organisation we present projects in partnership with cultural institutions across the UK and internationally. In short, Forma is where ideas become art.

Recent artists we have collaborated with include Oliver Chanarin, Alberta Whittle, Abbas Zahedi, Cécile B Evans, Sung Tieu, Amartey Golding, R.I.P. Germain, Sophie Hoyle, Benedict Drew, Josefa Ntjam, and Himali Singh Soin.

Our team works from FormaHQ, an award winning cultural hub in London. It is home to our offices, affordable artist studios, a cafe bookshop (Presse Books), a residency space for visiting and international artists, and lastly a public events space where our team of curators oversee the public programme which ties the many aspects of the building together, creating different entry points to contemporary art, environmental sustainability and community.

Forma Arts is a charity and National Portfolio Organisation, supported by the Arts Council England.
