This October, TAP Contemporary Gallery in Chelmsford will become the first gallery outside London to host the Women in Art Prize finalists’ exhibition, as the prestigious Prize embarks on its first-ever national tour.
From the 17th–31st October, TAP Contemporary will present the work of the winners of the 9th Women in Art Prize, bringing together an exciting selection of contemporary artists working across painting, sculpture, photography, printmaking, illustration, mixed media and more.
The exhibition marks an important moment not only for TAP Contemporary and its newly
opened Chelmsford gallery, but for the Women in Art Prize itself. After nine years of recognising and supporting exceptional women artists, the Prize is taking its finalists’
exhibition beyond London for the first time, creating opportunities to connect artists
with new audiences, collectors and communities across the UK.
