Partnerships

Paul Smith’s Foundation and Winsor & Newton are partnering to launch a new art prize in painting and drawing. Six winning artists will be selected from a free-to-enter Open Call, chosen by a notable, local industry representative who has the networks and experience to develop an artist’s professional practice.

We’re proud to announce an extended partnership with mental health charity Hospital Rooms, who aim to transform mental health treatment spaces by commissioning artists to install artworks, providing a welcoming and dignified environment.

This once-in-a-lifetime artists’ residency took place at The Drawing Factory, in Paris’s vibrant 17th arrondissement, a largely residential area north of the Arc de Triomphe. Artists were invited to occupy five floors of rooms that were repurposed into art studios for six months.
