The exhibition and awards are open to applications by emerging, mid-career and established drawing practitioners UK-wide and internationally and the exhibition will be launched at Trinity Buoy Wharf in London in September 2021 before touring to venues across the UK.

The Federation of British Artists (FBA) is the major visual arts charity which exhibits nine of the UK’s leading art societies at the Mall Galleries, London. The FBA has been championing figurative art since it was established in 1961. To celebrate its milestone 60th anniversary, it will be launching a brand-new online opportunity and selling exhibition: Figurative Art Now.

As society re-emerges into the light after the pandemic, Figurative Art Now will give artists the chance to showcase their work and give the public an opportunity to view and buy new pieces in a wide range of mediums. This innovative exhibition will be selected by some of the art world’s leading voices, held 100% online, and offer a range of prizes including cash awards, mentoring and exhibition opportunities. The FBA is asking you to be part of its future… and to be in the good company of previous exhibitors including Stanley Spencer, L.S. Lowry, Walter Sickert, etc.

Submission deadline is Tuesday 1st June 5pm. Full details and submission info can be found here
