Attention Artists: 2012 Future Generation Art Prize

Future Generation Art Prize is calling for application
Time to submit: 06 Feb – 06 May 2012

From San Art:
In 2012, San Art is again a partner platform for the launch of the ‘Future Generation Art Prize‘.

The prize was established by the Victor Pinchuk Foundation and is a worldwide contemporary art prize to discover, recognize and provide long-term support to a future generation of artists. Artists around the world, without restriction of gender, nationality, or artistic medium may enter the competition through online application.

Artists under 35 may submit applications at here from February 6 through May 6, 2012.

In June 2012, a shortlist of artists will be announced. They will participate in a shortlist Prize exhibition at the Pinchuk Art Centre (Kyiv, Ukriane) in October, 2012.

The international jury will gather in Kiev in December 2012 to select one main Prize winner to be awarded USD100,000. An additional USD20,000 from the Foundation will be allotted to fund artist-in-residency programs. Images of works by all the shortlisted artists will be posted on the website, and members of the public will be invited to vote via the Internet for People’s Choice Prize.

To encourage this new generation of artists, a group of renowned Mentor Artists has committed its long-term participation in the Prize. These artists will provide in-person counsel and support to the prize winners, and one of the Mentor artists will have a parallel show at the same time as each shortlist exhibition. The 2012 Mentor Artists are Andreas Gursky, Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons and Takashi Murakami.
