IT’S HERE! THE MIRACLAIR WEALTH ART PRIZE 2026

I am absolutely thrilled to announce the launch of the MiraClair Wealth Art Prize 2026. What a wonderful opportunity this is!

One exceptional artist will win a complimentary two week creative residency with us here at NG Art Creative Residency, in our beautifully restored 17th century olive mill in Maussane, Provence, valued at €2,000.

MiraClair Wealth has been part of our world for more than five years, and I couldn’t be happier that Joanne Leach and her team are now extending that relationship by directly sponsoring & supporting an artist and their creative practice.

Founded by Joanne, MiraClair Wealth provides thoughtful, bespoke financial planning for people whose lives and finances cross borders. With more than 25 years of experience, her personal, considered and long term approach resonates enormously with what we do here at NG Art.

And now, the exciting bit… entries are OPEN!

There is no set theme. We welcome artists working across painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, printmaking, textiles, digital and mixed media and other forms of visual practice.After nearly 40 years of working with artists, there is still nothing I love more than discovering exceptional talent and giving artists a platform to advance their practice. I cannot wait to see who this new prize brings through our doors!

🏆 THE PRIZE

Two glorious weeks in Provence dedicated to your practice, including deliciously curated farm to table dinners, our 100 sqm fully equipped studio with kitchen, the olive mill and its surrounds, and our shared car for exploring the beautiful villages of the Alpilles.

And, of course, professional development and mentorship from yours truly!

The residency, valued at €2,000, is generously funded by MiraClair Wealth.
