RSA New Contemporaries Award Winners announced

The ninth RSA New Contemporaries exhibition opened last week, with prizes worth over £40,000 being handed out to some of the most exciting emerging artists in Scotland.

The biggest prize awarded was the Fleming-Wyfold Foundation prize, which went to Glasgow School of Art graduate Camille Bernard. Bernard's work, consisting of a combination of filmmaking, set design and painting featured in our art Showcase back in August – read her thoughts on her practice, which channels themes such as the "disfigured innocence in surrealism". Her full prize consists of £10,000 plus a £4,000 bursary, one year of mentoring, work purchased for the Fleming Collection and automatic entry into New Scottish Artists at the Fleming Collection.

Frances Rokhlin of Edinburgh College of Art won the Glenfiddich award – a £10,000 residency plus exhibition, their work accessioned for Glenfiddich Collection, and automatic entry into New Scottish Artists at the Fleming Collection. The £5,000 Stevenston Painting Prize was won by Felix Carr, another Glasgow School of Art graduate. The Walter Scott Global Investment Award went to Sam Drake, while the new exhibition prize from LeithLate Festival was awarded to Clara Hastrup. The full list of winners are below.
