MADE IN BED is an art magazine and website independently run and produced by students from Sotheby’s Institute of Art in London and New York.
We provide global insight into the art world through a vast range of perspectives, research, and creative endeavours of the Institute’s own student body and alumni.
We take our name from London’s iconic Bedford Square, referencing the home of the Institute’s London campus, where most students can be found furthering their knowledge, writing our articles, engaging in international discourse, and exploring new frontiers.
Editor’s Welcome —
As MADE IN BED embarks on its fifth year of publication, we are once again ready to immerse ourselves in the canvas of innovation and creative exploration across the vibrant art community of London and beyond.
At the heart of our mission lies a steadfast dedication to connection, a commitment that has fuelled the ongoing perseverance of sections such as Interviews, which encourages crucial conversations across the art world, Art Markets, which analyses ongoing developments, En Plein Air, dedicated to appreciating art set in our ever-changing landscapes, Agents of Change, encouraging art as a mode for social change across the globe, and Emerging Artists, which champions and spotlights new artists. Each contributes to the collective tapestry of MADE IN BED.
Whether we're embracing art against the backdrop of our continually evolving surroundings, elevating diverse voices to advocate for global social transformation, or championing emerging artists, our shared goal remains constant: to connect.
MADE IN BED will persist in inspiring, challenging, encouraging and uplifting those in our little corner of London and beyond.
