The Cynthia Corbett Gallery is an international contemporary art gallery directed by Cynthia Corbett. The gallery is based in Wimbledon, London from Corbett's home, and represents emerging and newly established contemporary artists.

The gallery
The gallery is a regular exhibitor at major international contemporary art fairs and has an annual exhibition programme in London and New York, as well as collaborations with galleries worldwide. Art fairs include Art Miami, London Art Fair and Art New York. The gallery also works with a number of mid-career American, British and European artists whose works have been published and acquired by international museums and institutions.

corbettPROJECTS
Launched in 2004, corbettPROJECTS focuses on presenting curated projects that address contemporary critical practice and works with emerging curators and artists. The initiative presents an innovative programme of events in a variety of media with a particular emphasis on video art. In 2009 the Gallery launched the Young Masters Art Prize sponsored by AXA UK. The Young Masters Art Prize was launched in Spring 2012 as a not-for-profit independent initiative presented by the gallery.

Young Masters Art Prize
In 2009, the gallery launched The Young Masters Art Prize, a not-for profit competition open to international and UK-based artists. The Prize provides an international platform to both emerging and established artists, celebrating artistic skill and innovation with awareness of the Old Masters and art of the past. Artists 18 years old and above, working in any medium from anywhere, may apply for the competition. Applicants for the Ceramics Prize must show an exceptional command of the medium of ceramics and an awareness of the heritage of ceramic craft. The Young Masters Art Prize has been awarded in 2009, 2012 and 2014. Exhibitions of the works from past nominees have been held during interim years.

Past judges of the Prize include art historian Godfrey Barker, Secretary and Chief Executive of the Royal Academy of Arts, Charles Saumarez Smith, art market columnist for the Financial Times and Editor at Large for The Art Newspaper, Melanie Gerlis, writer and filmmaker Hannah Rothschild, Professor of Contemporary Art and Photography at University for the Creative Arts, Jean Wainwright, and previous curator of Young Masters Art Prize Daisy McMullan. A prize of £2,000 is awarded to the overall winner. The Artists' Collecting Society (ACS) awards two Highly Commended Prizes of £500 each. A new ‘Be Smart About Art’ award of £500 will be inaugurated with the 2017 edition of the prize.

In 2014, the gallery launched the Young Masters Maylis Grand Ceramics Prize, a separate platform to showcase artistic excellence in ceramic works. The Ceramics Prize is judged by a panel comprising the Crafts Council’s Daniella Wells, Janice Blackburn, Curator of Contemporary Arts and Crafts at Sotheby’s, ceramics patron Maylis Grand and collector Preston Fitzgerald. A main Ceramics Prize of £1,500 and a Highly Commended Prize of £500 is awarded.

The prize announcement is accompanied by an exhibition showcasing selected works. Selected artists' works will also go on tour with the Cynthia Corbett Gallery, participating in international art fairs and curated exhibitions.
