KGW Law supports initiative to encourage young women artists

Published: 16th September 2019

An evening of art, wine and music.

KGW Law has been associated with the Society of Women Artists (SWA) for three years. In particular, supporting young female artists, with its sponsorship of the Karin Walker Young Artist Award.

To help raise the profile further of young female artists, there is an evening to celebrate and support emerging artistic talent on Tuesday September 24th at the Mall Galleries, London SW1. There will be sketching, music and wine. Over 400 artworks by outstanding professional artists will be available to view (and to purchase with special discounts available on the evening). Further entertainment will be provided by The Tallis Trio, a talented ensemble of woodwind players with a repertoire that varies from Tallis to Lennon McCartney.

Further details about the evening, including how to book, are on the dedicated Eventbrite page.

About the SWA

The SWA have always been aware of the need to encourage and nurture young artists and with the news that many schools need extra funds to run creditable Art Departments it is making our job more difficult to attract these youngsters into another stage of their education and development in the professional art world.  For many years we have been offering 18 to 35 year olds special submission rates to our annual Open Exhibitions together with special ‘Young Artist Awards’.  Karin Walker of KGW Law, Woking has for the last two years generously donated £1000 to a Young Artist.  The Mall Galleries, London where we stage our exhibitions contribute greatly through exhibitions and workshops in Art for Youth projects as do some of the other societies.  This helps tremendously to keep some kind of consistency in the push to establish a good future for the SWA with new young members.  You can find out more on the SWA website
