Students scoop prizes!
School of Fine Art students have scooped eight of the RSA Annual Student Exhibition prizes! Our students have a long relationship with the RSA through the student exhibition, where work is shown alongside student work from the three other Scottish art colleges, in premier international standard exhibition space. Prizes went to: Ross Brown, Rendezvous Gallery/Linda Clark Nolan Award; Casey Campbell, Peacock Visual Arts Award for Moving Image; Rebecca Lindsay, Scottish Further Education Unit Purchase Prize; Nicole Porter and Camilla Symons, David Gordon Memorial Trust Awards; Joyce T Stewart, RSA Printmaking Prize; Euan Taylor Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop Award; Hayley Wilkinson, RSA Carnegie Traveling Scholarship. The Royal Scottish Academy of Art continues to develop its unique position in Scotland as an independent, privately funded institution led by eminent artists and architects whose sole purpose is to promote and support the creation, understanding and enjoyment of the visual arts through exhibitions and related educational events. School of Fine Art staff are instrumental to the RSAs development.
Boundary Gallery Prize for Nicole Porter
Nicole Porter, final year BA Honours Fine Art student, has won second prize of £1000 in the Boundary Gallery Figurative Art Prize. Joanna Fraser, School of Fine Art BA Honours student, was short-listed and both Nicole and Joanna are exhibiting at the Boundary Gallery in London from 18 April to 3 May 2008. The aim of the prize is to encourage up-and-coming artists at the beginning of their careers, who specialise in figuration. Fifty-two art schools from around the UK were asked to put forward final year undergraduate and postgraduate students and 102 submissions were received. From this, twenty have been chosen to exhibit at the Boundary Gallery.
