From the Archive
A limited edition tote bag created in 2014 with artist Wendy Saunders, based on her painting of Pussy Riot. The bag became one of our most recognised editions and even reached members of Pussy Riot in Russia.
We commissioned 18 artists to share honest reflections on art school, from the best bits to the hard lessons to alternative paths entirely. The result is a vivid snapshot of how artists learn, grow, and sustain their practice, well beyond any single institution.
Axis was one of the first and only arts organisations to offer direct financial support to artists during the Covid-19 pandemic. The Hardship Fund for Artists distributed £15,000 in support bursaries from Axis’s own reserves, demonstrating a continued commitment to care, community and artistic resilience.
