About
The Peter Farley Awards are generously supported by the estate of Peter Farley who was a theatre designer, exhibition curator, academic and teacher. Peter’s career embraced a wide range of different areas of design and performance. He was an immensely talented theatre designer, an international exhibition curator, a writer and researcher and an inspirational teacher.
The Peter Farley Award is awarded alongside the Peter Farley Internship, a year-long part-time internship with a professional theatre design studio Good Teeth.
The Award and Internship were established to provide support to graduating students from BA Theatre Design at Wimbledon College of Arts enabling the awarded student to transition into industry on graduation. The Award is intended to assist with the costs associated with gaining professional experience within the successful graduates’ field of creative practice during their first year after graduation.
