‘Portraiture shows us what it is to be human’.<\/em> The Scottish Portrait Awards<\/em><\/strong> are a celebration of Scottish creativity and talent, spotlighting the many talented contemporary portrait artists in Scotland today. This is the first edition of the awards to be jointly organised by the Scottish Arts Trust and the National Galleries of Scotland, marking an exciting new era for the competition.

Each work is accompanied by a text in the artist’s own words to offer insight into the story behind the portrait. Artists from all corners of Scotland and beyond share how they see themselves, family, friends and strangers. They capture moments of joy and challenges at work, at rest and at play. From newborn babies to centenarians, this collection vibrantly conveys every stage of human life. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
