Britain's What's On Event Guide
Exhibition: ING Discerning Eye 2023
Discover an unexpected art exhibition from two celebrities, football star Tony Adams and singer Ian “H” Watkins from Steps.
Selected by a star-studded panel from a UK-wide competition which attracted 6,500 entries, the ING Discerning Eye exhibition showcases 628 artworks by 387 artists to be shown and sold at the Mall Galleries from 17 to 26 November 2023, and online until 31 December 2023.
The panel of selectors also included light artist Chris Levine, sculptor Julian Wild, curator Péjú Oshin and Government Art Collection Director Eliza Gluckman.
Proudly supported by ING for 25 years, the ING Discerning Eye Exhibition is one of the longest-running commercial art sponsorships in the UK. Since it began in 1999, 11,000 works by 4,000 artists have been exhibited, £290,000 has been awarded in prize money, and over £1 million worth of art has been sold on behalf of the artists.
The ING Discerning Eye exhibition is unique for its focus on small-scale works and its selection process. Each selector makes their choices independently, resulting in the curation of 6 small exhibitions within the whole.
Some of the artwork comes from artists who are personally invited by a selector, and the remainder is selected through an open submission process, allowing emerging artists to exhibit alongside more established names.
