The Trustees of the Arts Foundation would like to express their thanks to all who attended and also helped during the nomination and advisory process for the 2008 Fellowships.

Thursday night at our sponsors Pentagram spacious offices was a night to remember and was attended by a real mixed crowd mirroring the artforms presented on the night. The categories were introduced by Odaline de la Martinez, Edward Allinson, Laura Harwood, David Constantine and Peter Fink who were all on the advisory panels for their particular area of expertise.

The Sculpture in Wood fellowship was awarded to two very different sculptors who will share the award of £10,000.
