Based in Leeds and set up in 2011 by three new graduates the Woolgather Art Prize was born from a need to explore artist’s role in society and celebrate creative lifestyle.
The prize presents the opportunity for artist’s involvement in an exhibition and participation into an exploratory process creating work for a website and publication. All shortlisted artists stand the chance to receive prize money of £1,000, £500, £250, entirely determined through a public vote, open to all.
The project continually supports an open platform of exciting contemporary art and engages dialogue from the audience, ultimately striving to promote innovative artistic endeavours.
