About the exhibition
We are pleased to announce the opening of the inaugural Well Hung Painting Prize exhibition, presented in partnership with GreatArt.
Established to champion contemporary painting and support artists working across the UK, the prize reflects Well Hung Gallery’s ongoing commitment to showcasing new talent and providing a platform for diverse artistic voices.
Selected from almost 1,000 submissions, 43 artists have been shortlisted for the exhibition. Bringing together works spanning abstraction, figuration and everything in between, the exhibition offers a snapshot of the breadth and quality of painting currently being produced across the UK. Varied in subject matter, scale and technique, the selected works share a strong sense of individual vision and demonstrate the continuing vitality of painting as a medium.
The overall winner will be selected by an invited panel of judges and announced at the exhibition opening on 9 July. The winner will receive a solo exhibition at Well Hung Gallery in 2027, a £500 GreatArt materials voucher and additional prize support from our partners.
We warmly invite you to join us on Thursday 9 July to celebrate the opening of the exhibition and the announcement of the inaugural Well Hung Painting Prize winner.
