Artists are now invited to submit works for the 2012 Lynn Painter-Stainers Prize. Sponsored by the Painter-Stainers’ Company, Lynn Foundation and Minerva Magazine, the Lynn Painter-Stainers Prize, now in its seventh year, is a competition designed to encourage creative representational painting and promote the skill of draughtsmanship. The 2012 Prize sees two exciting changes: the sponsors have generously increased the total prize money to £25,000, and the exhibition will now be held at the prestigious and more spacious venue of the Mall Galleries, London which provides an opportunity for more works to be selected for exhibition.
The competition is open to all UK based artists over the age of 18. Artists are invited to submit up to four original and non-sculptural works created in the last three years. In only a few years, the competition has become extremely popular with young contemporary painters. The Young Artist Award of £2,500 is a coveted prize that aims to promote the tradition of portrait painting and support fresh new talent. Other prizes include the First Prize of £15,000 and five Runner Up Prizes of £1,500.
We are delighted to announce the 2012 selectors:
- Andrew Wilton, Visiting Research Fellow at Tate Britain
- Ken Howard RA NEAC, Artist
- Chris Orr RA, Artist
- James Hart Dyke, Artist
- William Packer, Art critic and artist
An exhibition of selected works will take place at the Mall Galleries, London SW1 from 28 March – 5 April 2012. The exhibition will then tour to the WH Patterson
Gallery, London W1 from 16 – 20 April 2012.
Regional collection points are provided across the UK with the final hand in days in London on the 17 & 18 February 2012.
