Jerwood Contemporary Painters aims to promote, discover and support imaginative and vibrant practice in contemporary painting and offers an exciting opportunity to emerging artists who are at a particular stage in their development, falling between student and recognised artist status. Up to 30 artists who have all graduated since 2000 are invited to show one selected piece of work and will receive a minimum of £1000, not as a ‘prize’ but as a participation fee. This fee is unusual for any group show or prize in rewarding all the artists showing in the exhibition and is an important part of nurturing serious support for artists at this critical point in their careers.
The 2010 exhibition will run 21 April – 30 May at Jerwood Space and will then tour nationally.
