Hunting Art Prize
The Hunting Art Prize is awarded annually to an artist for excellence in drawing and painting. The prize of $50,000, sponsored by Hunting plc, was established in the United Kingdom in 1981 and was mostly awarded to British artists before relocating to Houston in 2006. Since then it has been awarded to Texas artists.[1]
