“In its inaugural year, the Hogarth Prize recognises outstanding contemporary British artwork and creativity across a range of practices and ideas.
With an emphasis on traditional techniques, original thinking, and Hogarth’s rebellious ideals of invention and challenge, the Prize will be awarded to an individual artist whose work demonstrates exceptional technical skill and meaningful engagement with contemporary culture.
The exhibition will be held at Hogarth’s House (the former home of William Hogarth), now a historic house, contemporary gallery, and learning centre in Chiswick, London.
One of Britain's most influential artists, Hogarth was a painter, engraver, writer, and businessman known for his sharp social commentary and outspoken resistance to the artistic establishment. His work challenged injustice, corruption, and moral hypocrisy, and his influence continues to resonate today.
The Hogarth Prize honours his keen observational eye, technical skill, and rebellious spirit. Reflecting this legacy, the Hogarth Prize offers an inclusive platform for creativity, presenting a diverse range of wall-based artwork across disciplines”. Hogarth Art Prize 2026.
