Shining a spotlight on and supporting student talent in partnership with the Aldridge Foundation & Artellite
This week we held the 5th annual Junior Signature Art Prize. In 2019. The Aldridge Junior Signature Art Prize was created in partnership with DegreeArt.com and the Bankside Hotel. It aims to inspire young people and give them the confidence and knowledge to raise their aspirations and explore how their talent could lead to a career in the arts or creative industries.
Students are invited to submit a piece of artwork in one of the five categories and a panel of industry experts select a shortlist of 25 artists who are invited to visit some of London’s top galleries, see what goes on behind the scenes of an art exhibition, attend a special preview event at the Bankside Hotel – London’s ‘Art Hotel’ – on the renowned South Bank, a stone’s throw from the Tate Modern.
The Signature Art Prize was established by art dealers and Gallery Directors, Isobel Beauchamp and Elinor Olisa, in 2006 to celebrate and identify emerging artists’ ‘Signature Style’. As those who have ever visited a university degree show will be aware, there is remarkable talent and high standards on show and the Signature Art Prize aims to capture this energy and assist young artists in exhibiting and promoting their work in an often-challenging art world.
The artwork in the catalogue is all available to purchase at a price of £325 per piece. Please contact Gallery Director Isobel@DegreeArt.com | 07708 251 687
