New Blood Art Emerging Art Prize 2026

The New Blood Art Emerging Art Prize 2026 is now underway, in collaboration with Fine Art departments across the UK.

Each year, the Prize brings together a curated selection of works by graduating artists nominated by their tutors and lecturers. It is a way of recognising serious artistic talent at an early stage, and introducing selected artists to a wider audience of collectors, curators, and press.

The Prize sits within more than two decades of New Blood Art’s work with emerging artists across the UK. For 2026, it remains on the New Blood Art platform for one final year before moving into the New Blood Art Foundation, which is currently taking shape pending charitable registration.

Nominated artists and works arriving shortly.
