Next Episode of Portrait Artist of the Year is
unknown.
Portrait Artist of the Year is hosted by UK TV personalities Joan Bakewell and Frank Skinner; an esteemed group of judges travel across the Europe in search of a new star in the art world. Each episode features a regional competition where artists are shortlisted and challenged to produce a portrait of one of three famous sitters. At the end of each round, the judges select an artist to go to the semifinal. The finalists will have their work displayed at the world-famous National Portrait Gallery in London and the winner will receive a £10,000 commission to paint a portrait which will become part of the permanent collection at the British Library.
It's the grand final of the 2024 competition, where the top three finalists will battle for the title by capturing the essence of one of Britain's most iconic acting duos, Andy Serkis and Lorraine Ashbourne. Once the paint has dried, our judges will crown this year's winner, who along with the prestigious title of Portrait Artist of the Year, will earn a £10,000 commission to create a portrait of renowned broadcaster Lorraine Kelly to be exhibited at National Galleries Scotland: Portrait – with our cameras following their creative process.
