the reach art prize-
the mall galleries
December 2019
In 2019 Sharon won first place and was presented with the award by artist Afshin Naghouni. The winning piece was a large scale collage work featuring writer and journalist Kuchenga. Reach is a visual arts prize for young Black and Asian artists. The group show is an exhibition of both well known contemporary artists and emerging artists at a major international exhibition at the prestigious Mall Galleries. Reach offers artists the chance to be exhibited and sell their work at the prestigious Art for Youth London exhibition, led by Director, Caitlin Mavroleon. This exhibition has now been running yearly for over 30 years and is the UK’s biggest arts fundraising event- it has raised over 1 million pounds for UK Youth charity to date.
