Founders Awards
Every year Bethlem Gallery runs the Founders Awards that aim to recognise the work of some of the most exciting new artists to join the gallery. We will invite a special guest working in the contemporary art field to come and select the artists. They will each receive £100 to spend on art materials. Only artists who have used the services of South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust are eligible to be considered for the Founders Award. By sending artwork to us for the fair, you will be automatically entered for consideration. We will also award commendations.
