The Florence Trust is so much more than just an artists studio.

Housed in an inspiring Grade 1 listed Victorian church the trust provides the opportunity to work for one year with a small group of carefully selected artists, pushing the boundaries of your work and exploring new ideas.

The Trust offers an exceptional experience well beyond the normal provision of studio space with access to our networks, individual career support and opportunities. For many artists, their period with us has been a turning point in their careers.

Patrick Hamilton (1923-2008)
The Florence Trust was saddened to learn of the recent death of Patrick Hamilton.

Twenty years ago Patrick founded Florence Trust. His vision and drive and undoubted charisma made a great impression on successive generations of artists. His continued support was greatly appreciated and he will be missed by all that knew him.
