Past Event: Free Range 2013 Emerging Art Award

Cass Art, FAD and DegreeArt are pleased to announce the establishment of a new emerging art award in conjunction with Free Range, the UK’s largest graduate art, design & fashion show.

As an annual showcase of British-based art and design graduates, Free Range brings together a vast network of young graduates for a series of free exhibitions at The Old Truman Brewery on East London’s Brick Lane. Over a hundred courses and more than 3000 students exhibit their work across five disciplines: fashion & textiles; design; photography & media; contemporary & fine art; interior design & architecture.

Designed to support 10 young artists in the year following their graduation, the recipients of the award will be selected from the graduate work exhibited at Free Range’s Art weeks by a panel of industry experts: Mark Westall (founder and creative director of FAD), Elinor Olisa (Co-Founder of DegreeArt), James Bidwell, (CEO of Cass Art), Ryan Stanier (Director of The Other Art Fair) and Tamsin O’Hanlon (founder and creative director of Free Range).

The 10 winning artists will all receive:

A £100 bursary from Cass Art

Automatic entry into the Signature Art Prize

On-going editorial coverage and support from FAD

Representation and mentoring from DegreeArt, who specialise in identifying and mentoring talented graduates
