SCAF Emerging Artists 2022 Exhibition Catalogue

2023 AWARD
/ THE SUBJECT IS
The theme for the SCAF Emerging Artist Award 2023 is LIGHT.
As we emerge from the Covid pandemic, surrounded by the rhetoric of threatened climate
crisis, food shortages, rising prices and ever increasing social pressures, it is hard to feel
lightness of spirit or connect with joy and creativity in our lives . Exploring the theme of
light and finding your own way of interpreting and expressing 'light' will offer a healthy
counterbalance to the heaviness and darkness often experienced in these times.
The visual arts have a long history of using light both as a subject and a tool to create
emotion and drama, or simply to lead the eye to a specific aspect of composition. You may
choose to represent light within your work, or play with light illuminating your piece or even
work with light itself, the choice is yours.
The award is open to up-and-coming artists in the Yorkshire Region who are not
represented by an agent and are not yet recognised by art critics or the general public.
There is a £1250 cash award to the winning submission and a further 9 awards of £100 for
the nine runners up. The 10 final pieces will be exhibited in our SCAF EAA 2023 Exhibition.
