Vote for your favourite shortlisted Emerging Art Prize Artist


The New Blood Art Emerging Art Prize is the only one of its kind, in collaboration with universities and art colleges across the UK, inviting nominations from fine art tutors and course leaders. Here are 24 shortlisted artists from BA and MA courses across the UK – a distillation of some of the most exciting contemporary art emerging from the world-class creative education system we have in the UK.

This year, we would love you to cast your vote for your favourite artist. I’ve put together a video introducing all 24 artists. Please watch it in full screen if you can – so that you can really appreciate the amazing artwork. Share it widely, invite others to vote, and help spread the word about these incredible artists..

Voting is open now on the https://lnkd.in/eAaWFrkU website. Establishing a career in contemporary art can feel like a lottery, and often those who aren’t naturally entrepreneurial or extroverted miss the recognition they deserve. This is your opportunity to help change that. Watch the video, cast your vote, and support these exceptional emerging artists!
