Founded by Ecclestone Art and generously sponsored by Dame Emma Thompson, Women in Art Fair, Cass Art Hampstead and Zebra One Gallery Hampstead, The Holly Bush Emerging Woman Painter Exhibition and Award 2020 is part of a wider project to assist and celebrate women artists and focuses on the careers of emerging female painters.
This prize is aimed at supporting, encouraging and mentoring emerging women painters.
Each year 21 artists are chosen from a competition to exhibit at Burgh House, Hampstead, London. From these 21 talented women the first prize is awarded to a painter who has demonstrated exceptional potential to become an established professional artist.
This exhibition offers a genuine opportunity for emerging women artists to further their career and for art collectors to invest in the future of the art-world’s emerging talent.
During the 2020 prize we have had to adapt to the constraints of the Covid-19 pandemic and ultimately have delayed the private view at Burgh House until 17th February 2021, in order to accommodate our usual numbers. However, we could not wait that long to show off our 22 wonderful finalists of 2020.
