Future Generation Art Prize 2014 - applications accepted through April 12

Art in General is proud to act as a Partner Platform during the launch of the 2014 Future Generation Art Prize.

The Future Generation Art Prize established by the Victor Pinchuk Foundation in 2009 is a worldwide contemporary art prize to discover, recognize and give long-term support to a future generation of artists. The Prize is a major contribution to the open participation of younger artists in the dynamic cultural development of societies in global transition.

The Prize is an innovative new international award for artists up to 35 years of age, investing in the artistic development and new production of works. Awarded through a competition, judged by a distinguished jury, the Prize is founded on the idea of generosity, a network of outstanding patron artists and institutional partners, and a highly democratic application procedure.

The Victor Pinchuk Foundation and the PinchukArtCentre will accept applications for the third edition of the Future Generation Art Prize 2014 through April 12, 2014. Young artists up to 35 wherever they live and work can through at the competition’s website.
