UCA Farnham Fine Art students have spent the last week in Amsterdam preparing for the Hans Brinker Painting Prize of 5,000 Euros (£4,500). Universities across the UK and Europe nominated their best painting students to exhibit their work and be judged for the prize via public vote.
The students where able to add to their experience of exhibiting whilst at UCA, but within a new and competitive context. Students were able to work together across institutions to curate their allocate exhibition spaces, and afterwards engage in critique sessions.
Whilst a student from Plymouth University was the lucky recipient of the public vote prize, it UCA student Joe Presland who had the good fortune to sell his work to a collector for a considerable amount.
