Returning to Bankside Gallery for the third year, the 2025 finalists exhibition presented a selection of shortlisted and prize-winning artists, chosen from 12,964 submissions across 129 countries. 57 original paintings, drawings, and prints were on show, including the first prize winner, Slick With Olive Oil by Eleanor Johnson. Here, we share some photos from the exhibition and the opening night.
Congratulations to all of the fantastic shortlisted and prize-winning artists. We look forward to opening submissions to Jackson’s Art Prize 2026 later this year.
