About this episode

In part 2 of the series ‘When I won that art prize’ we go back to episode 29 when James Drinkwater recalled winning the Brett Whiteley Travelling Art Scholarship in 2014.

The award included a three month residency in Paris at the Cité Internationale des arts, a dream come true for any young painter. However, when he and his young family set off for France, not everything went according to plan.

Upcoming show

Solo show at Edwina Corlette, ‘You could just make a painting and write it all in there – new paintings from the slip room’, 3 – 23 May, 2023
