Scottish National Galleries end BP relationship

Scottish National Galleries have become the most recent art's organisation to end their relationship with BP, due to environmental concerns.

In a statement issued the organisation said:

"At the National Galleries of Scotland we recognise that we have a responsibility to do all we can to address the climate emergency. For many people, the association of this competition with BP is seen as being at odds with that aim".

“Therefore, after due consideration, the trustees of the National Galleries of Scotland have decided that this will be the last time that the galleries will host this exhibition in its present form.”

2019 will be the last time the BP Portrait Award is hosted in its present form.
