Open Call for Emerging Artists

$5,000 AWARD FOR EMERGING ARTISTS

Beers.Lambert Contemporary announced a new award for emerging artists worldwide:

the First Annual Beers.Lambert Award for Emerging Art is a prize awarded to

up to 8 emerging, contemporary artists working in all disciplines and open to artists

internationally. Up to 8 winners will each walk away with a monetary prize and

become part of the growing award-package (further details of partners and the

full-award package will be released soon).

This newest initiative coincides with their gallery relocation in a brand new space

on Baldwin Street at Old Street in the heart of the East London.

 The award will consider criteria such as progression, innovation, excellence

and general talent in 4 predominating artistic fields: 1) painting and drawing;

2) photography, collage and 2D; 3) sculpture, installation and 3d; 4) and

a final multidisciplinary category that acknowledges video art, performance,

technology-based and/or new-media, as well as other forms that may defy

classification.

$5,000 IN AWARDS
By way of open call and juried selection, the award will be given to 2 artists

working within each discipline – one primary and one secondary recipient will

be awarded in each category to a total of 8 awarded artists.

The 4 primary award recipients will each receive $1,000USD and the 4 secondary

award recipients will each receive $250USD. All 8 of the awarded artists

(primary and secondary) works will be exhibited at Beers.Lambert Contemporary

in 2013, and their work will be featured extensively on their website and in other

promotional material. One or more of the awarded artists will be offered a solo

exhibition with the gallery in the Fall 2013 exhibition programme.

DEADLINE
The deadline for submissions is midnight, Monday August 13, 2012.
