The Artist Prize is a new £30,000 open art prize awarded to a single UK-based artist, alongside a solo exhibition at Firstsite, Colchester in 2028. It is open to any artist in the UK, working in any medium.
Twenty shortlisted artists will exhibit together at Firstsite from 30 January to 16 May 2027. A further 200 longlisted artists will be selected by a national network of around 80 curators drawn from arts organisations across the UK, bringing distributed curatorial expertise to bear on what UK artists are making right now.
The prize is co-founded by Guy Armitage (Zealous) and Sally Shaw MBE (Firstsite, Museum of the Year 2021).
Deadline for submissions, 8 July (midday).
