The last Threadneedle Prize awards Dinner - in the middle of the exhibition
at the Mall Galleries
You will recall I posted the The Columbia Threadneedle Prize - Call for Entries back in July. This week those who entered the competition got to find out who has been selected for the exhibition from 3 to 20 February 2016 at the Mall Galleries in London.

There's also going to be a second exhibition of many of the works at the Palazzo Strozzi in Florence (the city’s largest temporary exhibition space), for a special four-week exhibition opening in June 2016.

I know some of the artists selected below - and I've been drawn by one of them!
