Valerie Beston Artists’ Trust Award
Each year one student from the RCA is awarded a Valerie Beston Artists’ Trust Award.
The VBAT prize is made up of four main elements which are a SPACE studio for one year, a cash prize of £2,000 towards materials, an exhibition at the end of the year and support from a RCA tutor.
