ART AWARDS CALL For VISUAL ARTISTS
The 3rd Chaiya Art Award's theme is AWE + WONDER and offers a top prize of £10,000, plus 9 other cash prizes.
These art awards are open to photographic and video submissions from students, professionals and amateurs, alongside drawing, sculpture, painting, ceramics, glass, textiles, mixed media and installations in response to the theme, Awe + Wonder.
A prestigious judging panel:
- International photographer Marcus Lyon
- World renowned textile artist Kaffe Fassett; portraitist
- President of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters Alastair Adams
- Distinguished curator Dr Christo Kefalas; and
- Multi-disciplinary artist and winner of Sky Arts ‘Landmark’ prize Favour Jonathan
will be looking for originality and technical excellence, theme interpretation and emotional impact.
For the finalists Chaiya delivers a ten-day exhibition in central London. Owing to the success of the two previous awards, it will not only display work at London’s prestigious gallery@oxo, but also the huge Bargehouse alongside it. So more artists and bigger pieces can be seen by the thousands of visitors who come to the Winners Exhibitions.
The Chaiya Art Awards is not only passionate about elevating artists’ work into the public arena and encouraging emerging artists, it is also ardent about ending modern day slavery and trafficking. As a charity a percentage of all art work sold goes to UNSEEN UK.
