WELCOME TO THE HOLLY BUSH EMERGING WOMAN PAINTER PRIZE

Championing Women Artists

At the Holly Bush Emerging Woman Painter Prize we champion women artists and try to play our part in correcting the imbalance in the art world. Did you know top London galleries exhibit more work by male artists than female and that their work sells for more than their female counterparts? Women are also under represented in the major roles in the art world and paid less.

We are here to help change that!

HOLLY BUSH EMERGING WOMAN PAINTER PRIZE AT A GLANCE

Each year we hold an art prize open to all emerging women artists living and working in the UK. Then we choose 22 artists who we feel have the potential to excel in the art world. Our top artist receives a cash prize and other benefits. There are other smaller prizes for runner-up winners. This year for the first time we also have The Lady Petchey Sculpture Prize.
