The Threadneedle Prize


The Threadneedle Prize is most contemporary figurative art. It's aim is to
  • champion the most interesting figurative artists working inwards Europe.
  • offer both established as well as emerging artists a high profile chance to showcase their operate at a leading venue inwards Central London. 
  • maintain its status equally the country’s leading contest for figurative as well as representational prototype as well as sculpture

Previous winners as well as shortlisted artists include
  • Nina Murdoch, instantly represented past times Marlborough Fine Art, and 
  • Rose Wylie, who is currently on demonstrate at Tate Britain. 

Figurative Art Today (the 2014 exhibition) volition include the selected artworks for the terminal exhibition as well as volition intentionally correspond a comprehensive survey of both high character as well as multifariousness inwards figurative fine art beingness produced inwards the U.K. as well as Europe.

The Threadneedle Prize was established inwards 2008 amongst the back upwardly of Threadneedle Investments, a leading international investment management line of piece of job solid amongst long-term commitment to supporting the arts.

The changes


1.  The entry process


This is the starting fourth dimension twelvemonth inwards which ALL ENTRIES must survive submitted using the novel Digital Selection process.  This includes all sculpture as well as 3D submissions for the starting fourth dimension time.

The procedure has besides changed for entries from exterior the U.K. - as well as that relates to the side past times side major change.  All entries for sculpture as well as all entries from exterior the U.K. volition survive selected on the footing of prototype alone.

2.  Change inwards VAT registration for artists


It gives me no pleasance to tell I spotted this as well as told the organisers most it.
It's instantly affecting all competitions as well as opened upwardly exhibitions held at the Mall Galleries (and whatsoever other gallery or opened upwardly exhibition or fine art contest inwards the UK).  It's quite possible that in that place are a few exhibitions breaching the VAT regulations equally I write!

The bottom line is that the VAT regulations relating to fine art get got changed. This way that artists submitting operate to the contest from Europe (i.e. those artists without a U.K. residence - which effectively means not domiciled in the U.K. for taxation purposes) 

  • either MUST survive registered for U.K. VAT 
  • or intend to register for U.K. VAT inwards fourth dimension to render their VAT registration release to Mall Galleries earlier they tin sell industrial plant of fine art inwards the exhibition. (ie no VAT registration = no exhibition)

3.  The prizes


Last twelvemonth the £30,000 starting fourth dimension prize was split upwardly betwixt 2 artists who jointly won the First Prize (see Clare McCormack as well as Lisa Wright win Threadneedle Prize 2013). Interestingly neither winner minded equally they regarded the fact of winning equally the most valuable affair for them.

This year, the First Prize continues to get got a full value of £30,000 withal this instantly has 2 components
  • a cash prize of £20,000 
  • plus a real meaning novel addition. The winner instantly has the chance to exhibit a wider body of operate inwards 2015 at their ain exhibition inwards at the Mall Galleries inwards fundamental London. Plus a farther £10,000 volition survive granted towards exhibition expenses for this exhibition (no to a greater extent than worrying most rental of a infinite as well as framing costs!)
We recognise that for i operate to win a major prize represents a cracking achievement, but for a torso of operate past times the winning creative somebody to survive exhibited inwards a fundamental London gallery represents a huge opportunity.
The timing of the exhibition way that an creative somebody volition get got or hence a twelvemonth to conk a torso of operate together for the exhibition.

Visitors to the exhibition are invited to vote for the Visitors’ Choice Award, a farther valuable prize worth £10,000 to the winning artist.

4. Panel of Selectors 2014


The Threadneedle exhibition has to some extent been a piffling eclectic inwards the past times amongst the resultant of the selection beingness influenced past times the panel of selectors rather to a greater extent than than most. This appears to get got revolved about a struggle most what figurative fine art way - as well as the personalities of those making the judgements

This year's panel are:
  • Nancy Durrant -  the Arts Commissioning Editor as well as an Art Critic at The Times, 
  • Kevin Francis Gray - a sculptor who has exhibited globally as well as whose operate is inwards collections about the world
  • Whitney Hintz - Independent Advisor as well as Curator of the Hiscox Collection as well as a a board fellow member of the Crossrail Arts Programme as well as ‘Sculpture inwards the City’
  • John Martin - Founder as well as First Director of Art Dubai as well as Founder as well as Director of the John Martin Gallery.
I personally practise retrieve it helps to appear at the fine art they brand or the fine art they similar to come across if in that place is a run a endangerment your fine art powerfulness correspond the bill.  My select on the pick of selectors suggests sculpture is probable to get got a pretty skillful twelvemonth this year.

5.  The exhibition - The Threadneedle Prize: Figurative Art Today

This twelvemonth 2 separate exhibitions volition run concurrently:
  • Threadneedle Prize: the exhibition of industrial plant selected past times the Panel of Judges from the opened upwardly entry - inwards the West as well as due north galleries
  • an exhibition inwards the Threadneedle Space - amongst pieces selected by a Guest Curator - the independent fine art critic, author & curator Sacha Craddock.  (see her talk most who she is as well as what she expects from grade shows on YouTube
“Although it could survive said that inwards i way or some other all fine art relates to the figure, I am excited at the chance to curate an exhibition of electrical flow figurative art. I am hoping to convey together a discreet but ambitious arrive at of work, sense as well as expression, that volition provide a thought-provoking complement to the opened upwardly contest section.” Sacha Craddock
