    About

    The RSA Blackadder Houston Mid-Career Painting Award (£20,000) provides an extensive development and production opportunity for a fine art painter.

     

    The aim of this award is to enable a committed painter to devote themselves exclusively to painting for a period of time of up to 26 weeks, which they would otherwise not be able to do, due to other commitments such as employment or caring responsibilities. 

     

    The award is funded by the RSA Blackadder Houston Bequest and administered by the Royal Scottish Academy.
