About Trinity Buoy Wharf Trust: In 1998 the then owners, London Docklands Development Corporation (LDDC), set up the Trinity Buoy Wharf Trust with a 125 year lease to hold the land and their vision in trust for the people of London, while the freehold was passed to the LB Tower Hamlets. The TBW Trust holds a 125-year lease from LB Tower Hamlets and Urban Space Management in turn has a 124-year lease from the Trust. The terms provide for 25% of the Wharf's income to be paid to the Trust to use for promoting arts activity in the area. To date the Trust has supported and funded a wide range of arts projects and organisations, including the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize since 2018. Trinity Buoy Wharf is a thriving centre for the arts and creative industries with a rare community of over 500 like-minded people enjoying the unique riverside location. Free from overdevelopment, the site's fascinating history can still be seen in the buildings, installations, and residents including the Royal Drawing School and The Big Draw. www.trinitybuoywharf.com

About the Evelyn Williams Trust: About the Evelyn Williams Trust: Evelyn Williams (1929-2012) was a figurative artist whose intense and quietly authoritative paintings, sculptures, reliefs and drawings were produced over a period of seven decades. In 1993, she and her husband created a modestly endowed trust dedicated to promoting the cause of drawing, particularly in art schools. The Trust now has responsibility for the artist’s estate of extant works and desired legacy of support to artists. To this end the Trust is collaborating with the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize, Drawing Projects UK, and Hastings Contemporary to offer a biennial award to an artist creating the opportunity for them to make new work and show a resultant exhibition within the programme at Hastings Contemporary. The first  Evelyn Williams Drawing Award was offered to Barbara Walker MBE in 2017 in association with the then Jerwood Drawing Prize, with the solo exhibition Vanishing Point being shown at Jerwood Gallery in Hastings.( Barbara Walker | Visual Artist | Vanishing Point). The 2019 Evelyn Williams Drawing Award winner was Penny McCarthy whose exhibition, Cloud falls in love with mortal, took place at Hastings Contemporary in 2022/23. The 2021 Evelyn Williams Drawing Award winner was Roland Hicks, whose exhibition, The Fourth Wall, took place at Hastings Contemporary in 2023/24. The 2023 recipient is Isabel Rock, whose exhibition at Hastings Contemporary will take place in 2025. The Evelyn Williams Drawing Award is selected, as it has been since inception, by a Trustee of the Evelyn Williams Trust, the Director of Hastings Contemporary, and the Director of the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize. www.evelynwilliams.com
