Applications for the annual Access ART X Prize is now live on theaccesscorporation.com/art-x-prize/.
For the first time, the Prize has evolved to include an additional award open to emerging artists from all of Africa and its Diaspora to ensure sustainable careers for a wider range of artists.
Two winners will be selected; one from Nigeria, and one from Africa/ the Diaspora and they will receive:
– A residency at Gasworks in London for the Nigerian winner.
– A residency at Yinka Shonibare’s GAS Foundation in Lagos for the African/Diasporan winner.
– A $10,000 grant each for exhibitions at ART X Lagos, the leading international art fair in West Africa.
– Opportunities for cultural exchange and a means to develop their practice on the global stage.
Early-career artists with at least 3 years of experience working in the arts are encouraged to apply. Share in your stories and tag an emerging artist you think should win!
