    Cob Award
     
    The Cob Award was designed to offer early-mid-career artists of any age and nationality an opportunity to produce an exhibition within a contemporary London art gallery. 
     
    Award winners received £8,000 to produce a new body of work, access to a bespoke on-site studio space, eight-weeks of professional development through curated studio visits with Cob's extensive network and a final presentation of their work within the gallery. Each residency cycle ran for eight-weeks and consisted of one artist selected by an esteemed judging panel. The artists included were: 
     
    Nereida Patricia
    Peter Spanjer 
    J D Rooney
    Dominic Watson
