Associate Artist Scheme

The Associate Artist Scheme is generously supported by the Rootstein Hopkins Foundation.

The Rootstein Hopkins Foundation Associate Artist Scheme enables leading contemporary artists to work with a collection of paintings that were made before 1900.

The appointment is by invitation and is for a period of two years. The artist is given a studio in which to make new work that in some way connects to the National Gallery Collection. It is designed to demonstrate the continuing inspiration of the Old Master tradition on today's artists.

Alison Watt is the current Rootstein Hopkins Foundation Associate Artist. 'Alison Watt: Phantom', her Sunley Room exhibition, runs from 12 March - 22 June 2008.
