Contemporary British Painting

Contemporary British Painting (CBP) is an artist-led organisation founded in 2013, dedicated to exploring and promoting current trends in British painting. Through a vibrant programme of group exhibitions, engaging talks, and insightful publications, CBP provides a platform for artists to showcase their work and connect with a wider audience. The organisation is run entirely by volunteers from within its membership, fostering a collaborative and artist-driven environment.

CBP represents some of the most exciting emerging and award-winning painters in the UK. Its membership includes artists recognised for their contributions to contemporary art, with many having received prestigious awards and exhibited internationally. The organisation also founded The Contemporary British Painting Prize in 2016, an annual award that celebrates and promotes the best of contemporary painting produced in the UK.

With a history that includes exhibitions in London and a continuous effort to create new opportunities for its members, CBP has evolved into a dynamic force in the British art scene. The organisation actively shares its members' work through social media and its website, aiming to foster a lively discourse about painting and culture. CBP is committed to equality and diversity, reflecting these values in its constitution and operations.
