Anne Bean: Paul Hamlyn Award

14 November 2024

Anne Bean has received a Paul Hamlyn Foundation Award for Artists. These awards were established in 1994 to give artists a financial award at a timely moment in their careers. The aim is to give artists the freedom to develop their creative ideas and to grow both personally and professionally, reflecting the Foundation’s strong belief in the value of artists to society. Initially, the awards were made to artists from different art forms each year and there has been a consistent focus on visual artists since 1998 and composers since 2007. The Paul Hamlyn Foundation was founded in 1987 by the publisher and philanthropist, Paul Hamlyn.
