RSA Blackadder Houston Mid-Career Painting Award
2025
Congratulations to Moyna Flannigan, a recipient of one of three major awards funded by the RSA Blackadder Houston Bequest.
The RSA Blackadder Houston Mid-Career Painting Award, which has been awarded to Flannigan, is administered by the Royal Scottish Academy and intends to enable a committed painter to devote themselves exclusively to painting for a period of up to 26 weeks.
Flannigan says 'I’m really delighted to receive this painting award from the RSA, and especially pleased that it comes from the legacy of Elizabeth Blackadder and John Houston who were such generous teachers when I was a student at Edinburgh College of Art. Now that I teach there myself, and I am at a different stage in my painting life, I am conscious, as perhaps they were, that painting helps me to teach, and teaching helps me to paint.’
