About the prize
The inaugural Wrexham Painting Prize, in close association with the Wrexham School of Art, will celebrate painting as a dynamic and critical site of practice today. Launched to coincide with the first year of the MA Painting course at Wrexham School of Art, the prize reflects the course’s ethos of supporting ambitious, critically engaged painters at all stages of their careers. It aims to highlight innovation and experimentation within the medium. Shortlisted artists will have their work exhibited in an exhibition at Wrexham School of Art and Eagles Meadow. The winners will be selected by a panel of professional that includes Gwennan Thomas, Marcus Cope and Daniel Pryde-Jarman.
Prizes will include:
Solo exhibition at the Wrexham School of Art gallery.
Material prizes from Michael Harding, Seawhite of Brighton, Rosemary & Co and Tom Robertson Handmade Artist’s Oil Colours.
Cash Prizes
Applications will be open to any artists working in painting within the UK. Join us as we celebrate this exciting new chapter for painting in Wrexham.
