Alan Vaughan has been announced as the recipient of the 2024 David and Yuko Juda Art Foundation Grant, curated by Peter Doig. Alan Vaughan is an artist based in the UK and Trinidad. His creative energies derive from “Moko Jumbie”, the stilt- walker spirits which followed the slave ships across the Atlantic to the New World. These towering figures appear at important events such as funerals and ceremonial processions and are integral to Trinidad Carnival.

We are pleased to announce the David and Yuko Juda Art Foundation Grant 2024 which gives £50,000 to a living artist to help alleviate some of their financial pressures and give them freedom to concentrate on their practice.
The David and Yuko Juda Art Foundation charity was set up in 2017 and this will be the sixth year the grant has been awarded.
Each year, a curator is appointed to put forward artists for consideration for the grant. This year we are delighted that the curator of the grant is leading Scottish artist Peter Doig.
The 2024 shortlisted artists were: Tim Allen / Jai Chuhan / David Harrison / Tam Joseph / Gavin Lockheart / Kaoli Mashio / Alan Vaughan
Following on from last year, the David and Yuko Art Foundation is delighted to announce that an exhibition of all seven shortlisted artists will be held at Annely Juda Fine Art, 23 Dering Street, London from 10th – 20th September 2024 with the recipient of the grant being announced at 7pm on Tuesday 10 September at a special reception at the gallery from 6 - 8pm.
A panel met on the day of the award to decide who will receive the grant. This year the panel is made up of the Foundation’s trustees, David and Yuko Juda, Nina Fellmann, Rupert Faulkner and Paul Calkin, joined by Andrea Rose (Former Director of Visual Arts, British Council), Reinhard Spieler (Director of the Sprengel Museum, Hannover) Jonathan Watkins (former Director of IKON, Birmingham) and Andrew Wilson (art historian, critic and former curator
at Tate Britain).
