The Platform Graduate Award 2020 presents the work of 12 artists launching their artistic careers after leaving University. Part of a regional initiative led by CVAN South East, Platform aims to support emerging talent at a key moment of transition, and for this year’s graduates, many of whom have not shown their work in the usual degree show setting, this opportunity feels more critical than ever. This year’s selected artists are Louise Hall and Evie Redwood (Arts University Bournemouth), Chloe Davies and Daniel Martirossian (University of Chichester), Megan Georgia Smith and Kayleigh Pyner (Solent University, Southampton), Caitlin Jackson and Ellen Ball (UCA Farnham), Caitlin Holford and Katie Novell (University of Portsmouth), and Emma Siân Davies and Maryam Zahra Kazimi (Winchester School of Art, University of Southampton).
