Call for Submissions: Quinn Emanuel Artists-in-Residency Program 2026 is open

The internationally recognized organization Quinn Emanuel has announced the call for its 2026 Artists in Residency Program, which will begin in April 2026 and run for four months. During the residency, the selected artist will be provided with a studio at Quinn Emanuel’s London office to support their existing practice or develop a new project. At the conclusion of the residency, an exhibition will showcase the artist’s work, and at least one piece will be added to the organization’s permanent collection. The program seeks artists with a distinctive and original voice and clear mastery of their chosen media, with preference given to those in the early or mid-stages of their careers. The selection committee is particularly interested in providing opportunities and a platform for underrepresented artists. Submissions and project proposals will be evaluated by an international committee, and successful applicants will receive a monthly allowance along with studio access for artwork production.

Founded in 1986, Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan began as a litigation-only law firm and has since grown into a global organization with offices worldwide. In 2021, the firm launched its Artist-in-Residence program to support emerging and mid-career artists by providing dedicated studio space, financial support, and the opportunity to exhibit their work, with at least one piece added to the firm’s permanent collection. This initiative reflects Quinn Emanuel’s broader mission to integrate art into its cultural engagement and provide sustained support for underrepresented artists. In 2025, the firm further reinforced this commitment by establishing the Quinn Emanuel Arts Foundation to strengthen long-term support for artists globally.
