Genesis Foundation

The Genesis Foundation was founded by John Studzinski and has supported thousands of artists in their career development since 2001. Through its partnership model, it provides opportunities for talented artists, principally in theatre and music.

The Foundation’s focus is on partnerships with leading arts organisations including the Almeida Theatre, National Theatre, Young Vic and The Sixteen, and on training initiatives – the Genesis Theatre Design programme, and the Genesis Future Curators programme at the Royal Academy of Arts – that equip emerging artists for life as a creative professional.
