The Scott Creative Arts Foundation Emerging Artist Award is an annual open call that culminates in a group exhibition in Halifax, United Kingdom. For the 2027 edition, the foundation seeks proposals for original artworks that engage with the theme TENSION. The award is specifically designed for emerging artists who live or work in Yorkshire, providing a regional platform for early-career practitioners to present new work within a curated context. The selected works will be exhibited as part of the 2027 Emerging Artist Award, offering artists the opportunity to show alongside peers and to reach audiences in Halifax and beyond. While the exact nature of the exhibition and any associated programming is not detailed in the available information, the foundation’s commitment to emerging practice suggests a supportive environment for experimentation and professional development. The curatorial vision centers on the interpretation of TENSION, a theme that invites a broad range of responses—from psychological and interpersonal to political and formal. Artists are encouraged to propose ambitious, original projects that demonstrate a thoughtful engagement with the theme and a clear articulation of their artistic concerns. The award is open to all visual arts media, and proposals are evaluated on the strength of the idea, the feasibility of the project, and the artist’s potential to contribute meaningfully to the exhibition.
