Exhibitions coordinator Martyn Lucas gives us a tour of the 11th annual Flourish Award show for Excellence in Printmaking open at the WYPW project space in Huddersfield town centre (01 August - 12 September 2020)
Established in 2009 by West Yorkshire Print Workshop to champion printmakers working in Yorkshire, Flourish now celebrates work from across the UK. Each year the exhibition includes 12-15 artists shortlisted for the award by an independent panel of judges. This year’s judges are Stephen Snoddy, Artist and Director New Art Gallery Walsall; Bronwen Sleigh, Artist and Printmaker; and Grant Scanlan, Huddersfield Museums Manager.
The Flourish Award always presents a unique insight into printmaking from across the UK and the changing panel of selectors ensures each exhibition is quite different from the previous year. There is often an intriguing mix of highly skilled traditional printmaking alongside more experimental, unconventional work, pushing the boundaries of scale and medium. Previous judges have included high profile artists such as Anne Desmet, Norman Ackroyd, Katherine Jones and Tracy Hill, and curators such as Helen Waters, Director at Cristea Roberts Gallery. Previous prize winners have included Sumi Perera, Neil Bousfield, Liz K Miller, Amy-Jane Blackhall and last year’s winner Hazel Roberts.
The winner of the Award goes on to present their own solo print exhibition at Huddersfield Art Gallery in 2021. They will also benefit from a two-week residency at WYPW. In addition there are runners-up prizes, including the Great Art Award, Hawthorn Printmakers Prize, and our student/recent graduate award.

Robert Snoddy grew up and went to high school in Roseburg, Oregon before attending Oregon State University to major in Aeronautical Engineering. In 1940 he joined the Civilian Pilot Training program and was placed on deferred Selective Service status. Then in 1942, he enlisted in the Navy and was accepted for the Naval Aviation Cadet program. Upon completion, Snoddy was sent to VB-115 to fly the PB4Y-1 Liberator on anti-sub, recon and anti-shipping missions. He was involved in the battles for New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, New Georgia, Suragao Straits and Leyte, and received a Navy Air Medal with 4 stars, a Purple Heart and several battle stars. After discharge from the Navy in 1946, Snoddy went to work for Hawaiian Airlines before returning to the mainland to continue his college career at the University of Washington. In 1948 he joined Civil Air Transport (CAT) in China, which was later acquired by the US Central Intelligence Agency. In that role he flew a number of missions of a clandestine nature to support American-funded units battling the Communist Chinese rebels. On November 29, 1952 Snoddy was piloting a C-47 on a mission into Kirin Provence, Manchuria to resupply friendly forces, and to extract an a special agent using an aerial recovery system. Unknown to the crew, the agent was a double agent, and the pick up was a trap. As the Snoddy flew in to make the pick up, the aircraft came under intense fire and was shot down. Snoddy and co-pilot Norman Schwartz were killed in the crash and two other CIA aircrew were taken prisoner. Snoddy's remains were returned by the Peoples Republic of China for burial in Eugene, OR in 2004.

Samuel Walsh:
As a committee member of the Limerick Exhibition of Visual Art (EVA now known as the EVA International) that took place each year in the Limerick City Gallery of Art (LCGA). I watched work arriving and being selected for the duration of the exhibition and then the majority, returned to the artists who had submitted the work. When I resigned from the committee to concentrate on my own work I felt that something should be done to retain some art works in the form of a collection from work that was exhibited in Limerick in the EVA exhibition.
LCGA had very little funding allocated from the Local Authority for the acquisition of art work. I suggested to the Art Gallery Advisory Committee at the time that a ‘Friends’ of the gallery should be formed to aid in adding to the collection through subscription and to benefit them with organised events in the gallery. This was rejected.
With a like-minded group Limerick Contemporary Art Society was established in 1983. Through subscription we managed to put together a small collection that was subsequently gifted to Mary Immaculate College of Education, Limerick to help start their own art collection. These initial works were diverse and in many media and many were by local artists.
Opportunities to purchase work for the society was limited due to limited financial resources but it was agreed that we would concentrate on contemporary work. It was decided to concentrate on the purchase of contemporary drawing for the reason above and for two other reasons. Firstly, there was no other comparable collection in the country and secondly, with a few exceptions, we could afford work defined as drawing.
My own work as both an artist and a lecturer was around drawing. At the time, this was a much-reduced discipline in art schools and galleries its status being one of toleration in education and of peripheral importance compared to painting and sculpture. I believed that anything to change this situation would be a positive. So, came about the creation and the founding of the National Collection of Contemporary Drawing in 1987, which it was hoped would go some way to giving drawing its rightful place in the history of Irish art.
The collection now numbers over 200 artworks and represents the work of some of Ireland’s leading artists and some of international reputation and origin. Works from the collection are regularly shown at LCGA. The National Collection of Contemporary Drawing has been toured and exhibited in many gallery and art centre venues throughout Ireland.
There is a concept held in philosophy that we are only free because we are allowed to be free by others. The Chairman of Limerick Contemporary Art was Luke Kiernan and he allowed me with my ideas and suggestions to be free to take the drawing collection in a particular and significant direction. I thank him for that and for then and now for being my friend.
