Insurance-baced prize draw for country's most talented artists
The Catlin Art Prize has attracted a range of stunning art for this year contest.
Catlin Insurance backs the competition for graduates one year on from their degree exhibitions.
From the forty artists recommended for The Catlin Guide, eight are invited to take part in the Catlin Art Prize and encouraged to make a brand new collection of work to be exhibited at Village Underground, Shoreditch, 14 – 23 May.
A final overall winner will be selected by a judging panel and will receive £3,000 prize money – enough to run a studio for a year.
This year’s judging panel includes Polly Morgan, artist: Ben Lewis, art critic and documentary film maker; Alan Montgomery, head of contemporary art, Bonham’s; and Cathy Wills, collector.
The Catlin Art Prize will take place at Village Underground, Shoreditch, London from 14 – 23 May.
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
