A panel of judges have nominated four artists as finalists for an award and prize of £10,000. Set up in 1993, The Arts Foundation award is designed to pay for artists’ living and working expenses with “no strings attached”.

This year's chosen musicians are Áine O’Dwyer, Klein, Ashley Paul and Natalie Sharp. They were chosen by a panel of judges consisting of artist and writer Salome Voegelin, Robin Rimbaud aka Scanner and Late Junction's Max Reinhardt.

The winner will be announced on 27 January 2020 at the ICA. Other categories in the award include Comics, Experimental Short Film, Visual Arts and Social Innovation. Runners-up receive £1000.
