The eight artists are shortlisted for the prestigious sculpture prize, which offers the winner £10,000 financial support towards the production of new work, a funded solo exhibition at Standpoint Gallery, London, plus a National Touring Programme.

The artists were selected from close to 300 entries by a judging panel comprising: Alice Channer, Artist; Gemma Brace, Head of Exhibitions, Arnolfini; Rebecca Scott, Director, Cross Lane Projects and Mark Tanner Trust; and Steph Huang, MTSA winner 2023/24.

The Mark Tanner Sculpture Award is the most significant award for emerging UK artists working in the field of sculpture. It seeks to reward outstanding and innovative practice, with a particular interest in work that demonstrates a commitment to process, or sensitivity to material.

The winner will be announced at the exhibition opening for the current recipient, Steph Huang, at Standpoint on Thursday 16 May 2024.
