PRIMARY SPONSOR

THREADNEEDLE ASSET MANAGEMENT
As one of the UK's top 10 investment management companies, Threadneedle's philosophy is about promoting debate and encouraging innovation in order to generate ideas. We seek the same approach in our partners, which is why we are so excited to be supporting the Mall Galleries by sponsoring The Threadneedle Prize.

In some quarters, figurative art is seen as decorative or moribund. It's a limited view that we seek to challenge with the Prize. Successful art makes us look afresh at the world; figurative art can make us do this as much as other media.

The Prize is rapidly becoming established as a major new forum to showcase the best in contemporary British figurative art. As well as supporting new techniques that will stretch the potential of the nation's figurative talent, it provides an exciting and varied exhibition for everyone to see.

Whether as an artist, a member of the public who votes for a Prize winner, or a visitor to the Prize exhibition, we hope you find the experience stimulating.
