Each year the Blake Society gives ten per cent of its income to an individual in the form of a grant to encourage a work of vision.

This year the 2016 Tithe Grant will be awarded to the best drawing inspired by Blake’s ‘Bounding Line’.

‘The great and golden rule of art, as well as of life, is this: That the more distinct, sharp, and wiry the bounding line, the more perfect the work of art; and the less keen and sharp, the greater is the evidence of weak imitation, plagiarism, and bungling … Leave out this line, and you leave out life itself’ (A Descriptive Catalogue, 1809).

The winning entries will be chosen by the Turner Prize-winning artist Jeremy Deller whose recent work includes conceptual life drawing classes in New York. In 2013 Deller represented Britain at the Venice Biennale.
