the alpine fellowship visual art prize

The 2026 Alpine Fellowship Visual Art Prize will be awarded for the best visual arts response on the theme of JOY!

Since 2013, we’ve distributed over £200,000 in direct financial support to talented artists, writers and academics from all over the world.

Through our prizes we evaluate thousands of entries by entrants from around the world, and offer financial support in the form of grants, mentoring, performances and exhibitions of the work of talented young artists, writers, academics and playwrights. We also work with partner artistic and academic institutions to commission new works of art and to further the humanities and interdisciplinary study.
