FUAM Graduate Art Prize Exhibition (21st August-20th October)

Talk for FUAM members, reception and preview at the Stanley and Audrey Burton Gallery.

An expert panel of three judges will choose four student finalists, based on the artwork they present in their Fine Art and Design undergraduate degree shows (June 2014). The judges will be Cherie Federico (Editor, Aesthetica magazine), Simon Wallis (Director, Hepworth Wakefield), and Dennis Hopper (Director of Facilities Management, University of Leeds).

The four finalists will be invited to exhibit a selection of their artwork at The Stanley & Audrey Burton Gallery, working alongside its professional curators on a joint display, which will run from the 22nd August to the 20th October 2014.

During the exhibition's run, the judges will return to view the exhibition and will nominate their overall ‘best in show’ student artist of the year. The winning student will receive £250, and the three runners-up, £100 each, to aid them in their developing careers as artists.
