Founded by members of Chelsea Arts Club, Chelsea Arts Club Trust was set up in 1990 to encourage art and design education and provide help and support for artists and designers. The Trust has established a range of bursaries and awards for practicing artists and designers, as well as emerging art and design graduates. The aim is to recognise and enable talent, create opportunities, support research, and set artists on the path to long term professional careers.

Artist Biographies
Shu Wei Chang (b. 1998, Taipei) is currently in her final year of the MFA Fine Art at Goldsmiths University, London. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Taipei National University of the Arts (2021) and studied as an exchange student at Tama Art University in Tokyo (2019). Exploring the possible forms of digital gadgets as non-human yet intelligent beings through sculptures, 3D modeling, moving images, and mixed media drawings, Shu’s practice navigates the in-betweenness of human and non-human interactions. Delving into human-machine hybridity, her work examines Internet phenomena and the properties of technological devices, aiming to navigate the present and future without excessive anticipation or fear, fostering an open and dynamic engagement with our technologically mediated world. She was awarded the Chelsea Arts Club Trust MA Materials and Research Award in 2024.
Ross Head is a London-based artist who completed an MA in Painting at the Slade School of Fine Art, UCL, in 2024. He has exhibited nationally and internationally, with a recent solo show, Soft Serve, at Haricot Gallery, London, in 2025. Head received the Travel Award for Artists from the British School at Athens (2022), and both the Almacantar Studio Award and UCL East Provost Art Prize (2024). He sits on the Artist Council for a-n: The Artists Information Company. His work is held in the UCL East and HSBC art collections. He was awarded the Chelsea Arts Club Trust Zsuzsi Roboz Award in 2023.
Sarah Hopper is an artist living and working in London. She is currently completing a Fine Art Masters at Chelsea College of Art. A multi-media artist working across sculpture, sound and video she is considering the psychological spaces between imagined, dreamt and lived experiences, the reliability of memory, themes of repetition and rhythm that contribute to human conditioning. Developing modular works with readymades and fabricated elements that can be reformed and reimagined, she is engaging with the temporal existence of the object. She was awarded the Chelsea Arts Club Trust MA Materials and Research Award in 2025.
JEEHEE is a sculptural painter and curator based in London. She earned her MFA with Distinction at Goldsmiths, University of London. Approaching painting as both spatial and conceptual terrain, she explores Chaosmos—a patterned disorder where harm and care, rupture and renewal interlace. Her recent research turns toward the symbolic crossroads where contemporary truth, belief, and fiction collide, and where invisible powers shape fragile promises. Through pastelic cruelties and luminous fractures, she constructs painterly topographies that reveal how beauty and violence cohabit, presenting what she calls ‘The Second Landscape’ as a hybrid field of perception. She was awarded the Chelsea Arts Club Trust MA Materials and Research Award in 2023.
Jana Kühne is a visual artist from Greifswald, Germany, based in London. Following her first degree in tourism management and a career in marketing sciences, Jana discovered art as a tool for rewilding herself and the world around her and graduated with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art from the Art Academy London in 2024. She is the recipient of the Art Academy Trustee BA (Hons) Fine Art Prize (2024) and the Art Academy Drawing Prize (2024). Jana has exhibited in various group exhibitions and open calls, with upcoming exhibitions at Safehouse Peckham and Wells Cathedral. She was awarded the Chelsea Arts Club Trust Award for Sculpture in 2023.
Katie Shannon is an artist based between Glasgow and London, working across drawing, installation, printmaking, textiles, writing, performance, curation, music and collaborative formats. Her practice centres on the event as medium, exploring temporalities, collective intimacy, and states of energetic unrest. Rooted in a socialist, feminist, and materially led approach, her work navigates themes of class, sociality, and counter-culture, using repurposed or ‘low’ materials, laborious processes, and printmaking as means of dissemination to propose alternative economies of making and meaning. She was awarded the first residency at Flat Time House for a Chelsea Arts Club Trust awardee in 2025.
Ciana Taylor (b.Dublin, 1999) is an Irish artist whose practice is rooted in the archive, it explores historical, personal, and cultural reflections, reimagining how we preserve and experience the past through film, sound, and installation.Ciana completed her BA at Chelsea College of Arts in 2023 and has exhibited with galleries such as Seventeen, The Koppel Project, Copeland Gallery, Hypha Studios, and Young Space. Currently supported by Arts Council England, Ciana is currently developing new work that investigates secularism, sexuality, and spirituality. She was awarded the Chelsea Arts Club Trust Stan Smith Award for an artist under 35 in 2023.
She has made work in collaboration with Jamie Seechurn, a multidisciplinary artist and art director whose studio practice, studio THAMESWATER, operates across moving image, digital media and computational design. The studio develops commissioned visual systems alongside experimental projects that bridge commercial and fine art practices. His work interrogates the intricate relationships between digital and organic environments, examining how technological and ecological systems interact and coalesce. This reflects deep engagement with the interconnectedness of human and more than human life, addressing contemporary concerns about our hybrid digital - physical existence.
Xinxin Wang is a London–Shanghai–based artist specializing in sustainable textile art. With 10 years of experience in advertising and fashion marketing in Shanghai, she began exploring her artistic vision during her MA Sustainable Fashion studies at Kingston School of Art, London, UK. Where she developed a practice rooted in creative innovation and ethical thinking. Growing environmental awareness inspired her parallel path into sustainable textile art, while she continues to value her expertise in marketing and advertising. With a ground-up approach grounded in creative innovation, ethical thinking, and environmental responsibility, Xinxin transforms recycled garments, reclaimed yarns, surplus fabrics, and repurposed materials into expressive, resonant artworks. A defining strand of her work reimagines discarded fabrics from the Royal Opera House, repurposing these institutional remnants into new textile compositions that question entrenched notions of value, beauty, and waste. Through this process, Xinxin reclaims the hidden narratives woven into each fragment, offering audiences a chance to rethink consumption, reuse, and the lifecycle of materials. She was recipient of the Chelsea Arts Club Trust Award for Textiles and Fashion in 2025.
