Part of wider project to support and celebrate female artists, The Holly Bush Emerging Woman Painter Prize 2018 focuses on supporting and encouraging the careers of emerging female painters.

Sponsored by The Holly Bush, Hampstead and Supported by Cass Art the Emerging Women Painters Exhibition and Prize will select 21 female painters over 18 years of age living and working in the UK or the EU* to form part of an exhibition at Burgh House Hampstead, London. Their work will be exhibited at Burgh House from 25th to 29th July 2018.

From these 21 artists, an award will be given to a female painter who has demonstrated exceptional potential to become an established professional artist. That potential should be illustrated through their painting skills, their creativity and their ambition.

*Please note the Terms and Conditions: if you enter from the EU you need to consider getting your work to and from the gallery and attending the Private View if you should win (your entry will be invalid if you are unable to fulfil these requirements).
