The 2024 Ingram Prize is generously sponsored by Rawlinson & Hunter

The Ingram Prize was established in 2016 to showcase the work of artists in the years after art school, when building a career and making a living can be difficult. We are proud to support artists at this stage in their careers.

2024 sees the 9th edition of the Ingram Prize and it is a pleasure to see the breadth and vibrancy of the art continuing to emerge from our UK art schools. I started visiting degree shows in 2007. Since my very first purchase of work that year from Haroon Mirza’s MFA show, The Ingram Collection now has almost 90 works by the artists in our Ingram Contemporary Talent collection, which we are proud to display around the UK as part of our loans and exhibition programme.

Even though I started The Ingram Collection buying Modern British art, I believe it is important as well to be looking forward and supporting artists who are working today. The Ingram Prize celebrates the range of talented artists from home and abroad who have chosen to study and work in the UK.

I am delighted that we have received a record number of entries for this year’s prize. It shows the importance of opportunities such as this, and seeing our finalists’ works on display in the group exhibition is one of the highlights of my year.

Congratulations to all.

From our sponsor

Rawlinson & Hunter is delighted to sponsor the 2024 Ingram Prize. The firm has a long history of working with artists and supporting the arts generally through pro bono work, sponsorships and partners serving as trustees for museums and collections. I have now known Chris Ingram for over 30 years and share his passion for art, so it is a great pleasure to be involved with him through The Ingram Collection and this prize.

Introduction

Now in its ninth year, this leading prize for contemporary artists was established by The Ingram Collection to celebrate and support artists at the beginning of their professional careers. In recognition of the vital importance of practical support in these early years, the Ingram Prize offers its shortlisted artists the opportunities to exhibit and sell work, receive continuing professional development, and the chance to develop both industry and peer-to-peer networks. We also offer a solo show, residency opportunities, and up to four finalists’ work join the Ingram Collection.

Thank you to our partner Hestercombe Gallery for the residency prize, and to the team at The Lightbox with whom we work to offer a solo institutional show to one of the winners. Thank you also to Stacie McCormick at Unit 1 Gallery | Workshop, and to Alison Price, Collection Manager, for all the hard work that goes on behind the scenes.

Congratulations to our 2024 finalists.

Saint Takyi was born in 1997 in the Netherlands. They graduated in MA Painting from the Royal College of Art in 2024, supported by the Sir Frank Bowling scholarship. Their most recent group exhibition, Come by Here, a collaboration with RCA BLK and curators Jarelle Francis and Louis Chapple, explored the artists’ desire to commune and imaginatively storytell. Takyi uses the colour blue as a base, leaning on blue’s rarity in nature to create environments with ephemeral humanoids that symbolise the narratives from their daydreams, memories. Their practice continues to fuse elements of Ghanaian folklore and world-building with anthropological photography.
