Holburne Portrait Prize Commissions
Snce 2002, the Holburne has commissioned six new portraits from winners of the Holburne Portrait Prize.
From small beginnings, the biennial competition grew to become one of the south west’s most prestigious awards for painting, with entries from artists from Wiltshire to Cornwall.
Winners have received commissions to paint an individual who has contributed significantly to the cultural life of the region. The six portraits now in the Holburne collection form a fascinating record of the vibrancy of the arts in Bath and the south west today.
