The Catlin Art Prize
Now entering its sixth year, the Catlin Art Prize is an annual event
showcasing the most promising art school graduates one year on from their degree exhibitions. The Prize is unique in providing the artists with the time and opportunity to develop their practice, encouraging them to demonstrate their progress by producing a new body of work to be exhibited in May. The selected artists are considered to be producing work of an outstanding quality which demonstrates their capacity to make a significant mark in the art world during the next decade.

The Catlin Guide is an introduction to the 40 most promising new graduate artists in the UK, as recommended by a wide survey of curators, collectors, gallerists and course tutors. Each individual profile details future exhibitions, projects and aspirations for 2012. The Catlin Guide was launched as a strictly limited book at The London Art Fair (January 18th – 22nd 2012), and was presented alongside work by many of the featured artists.
