Event History
The Arte Laguna Prize was created by the Cultural Association MoCA. This is an international art competition that is dedicated to the visual arts, with a focus on painting, digital art, sculpture, street art, installation, photography and digital graphics. The aim of the competition is to promote and support the career development of the artists by offering several unique opportunities, which is thanks to its various collaborations with Art Galleries, Museum, Companies and national and international art residencies. Despite being well-developed, the partnerships network of the Arte Laguna Prize has grown since its foundation in 2006. This year, in fact, new exhibition opportunities have been added including the display at MMOMA-Moscow Museum of Modern Art, Russia, in 2021. What’s more, since 2010 the final exhibit has been held at the Arsenale of Venice, one of the most popular venues for contemporary art in the world. In the previous editions, Arte Laguna Prize has worked with artists from over 120 countries and with professionals from different backgrounds in the international art scene that make up the judging panel.
