The Paul Hamlyn Foundation has announced the 10 recipients of Awards for Artists 2024. Now in it’s 30^th year, PHF’S Awards for Artists support visual artists and composers with a no-strings-attached funding model. The 30^th anniversary also marks an increase in the award from £60,000 to £75,000 each. Since 1994 the scheme has benefitted over 357 artists with awards totalling £11.29 million.

This year five visual artists and five composers were named the winners at a ceremony held on 14 November at the St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel, London. The ten recipients of this year’s awards are visual artists Anne Bean, Barry Anthony Finan, Mikhail Karikis, Grace Ndiritu, Sean Roy Parker, and the composers Auclair, Andrew Hamilton, Rachel Musson, Aidan O’Rourke and Mark Sanders.

Jane Hamlyn, Chair, Paul Hamlyn Foundation and Chair, Visual Arts judging panel, said: ‘The visual artists and composers selected this year join an exceptional cohort, whose work throughout the 30 years of the Awards has continually reaffirmed our commitment to supporting artists. We hope this year’s Awards continue to offer artists crucial time, space and resource to explore their practice.’
