It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our beloved co-founder, Chloe Grimshaw, who died on 16th May 2026.
Chloe was at the heart of Plinth from the very beginning. Alongside Paul, she founded Plinth in 2015 with a belief that art could bring people together — creating connections between artists, ideas and audiences.
Creativity was woven through Chloe’s life, but warmth, wisdom and generosity were at its centre. She had a rare ability to make people feel valued and heard, bringing kindness, curiosity and care to every conversation and every project.
Through Plinth, and through her work as Creative Director of the .Foundation, Chloe championed artists, designers and young people, always encouraging others to explore, imagine and create.
Beyond her extraordinary professional achievements, Chloe was a much-loved wife, mother, sister, daughter and friend. She will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
We are immensely grateful for the kindness and care shown to Chloe and her family by the incredible team at University College Hospital. In her memory, we are fundraising for the , helping support the vital work they do for patients and families.
