We’re thrilled to announce that Abbie Sunter is the recipient of the Artcore Emerging Artist Award 2025-26! 

Abbie, who is an MA graduate from the University of Derby, works across a variety of mediums, with a special focus on clay. Her work is deeply inspired by history, ancient cultures, folklore, and global religious or occult practices. Through her art, she invites us to reconnect with nature by exploring themes of place, ritual, and mythology. 

With this award, Abbie receives a £1,500 bursary and the incredible opportunity to showcase her work in an international exhibition alongside another artist, to be announced soon. We’re excited to provide curatorial, technical, and marketing support, and a professional catalogue for the exhibition.

Stay tuned for more updates—we can’t wait to see how Abbie will bring her vision to life on a global stage!
