Published: 13 November 2024 

Supporting the arts in the UK has always been important to Paul Hamlyn Foundation. Awards for Artists supports individuals at a timely moment in their careers, giving them the freedom to develop their creative ideas and contributing to their personal and professional growth.

To mark the 30th anniversary of the Awards we asked 12 previous recipients to share their insights into what the Award meant to them. Every story is singular, but taken together, a collective belief in the transformative potential of art shines through. Here, you can read their profiles, which have been created based on interviews by Lilli Geissendorfer.
