Cubitt Artists

Cubitt Artists is an artist-run art gallery (Cubitt Gallery), artist studios (Cubitt Studios) and art educator (Cubitt Education), founded in 1991. Cubitt was first located in Goodsway in London's Kings Cross area, moved to Cubitt Street (hence the name), later to Caledonia Street, and is now located at Angel.

The Cubitt Gallery is funded by Arts Council England allowing it to offer the 18-month Cubitt Curatorial Fellowship to emerging curators (previously named the Curatorial Bursary from 2001 to 2015.) Past Cubitt curators are:

  • Fiona Parry (December 2010 – May 2012)
  • Jamie Stevens (June 2012 – December 2013)
  • Fatima Hellberg (January 2014 – June 2015)

The current curator is Morgan Quaintance (July 2015 to present).
