The SOLO Award™ is an annual contemporary art prize open to artists of any age, working in any medium. The winner receives a cash prize and a solo exhibition at the London Art Fair.
The SOLO Award™ is an entirely not-for-profit project, now in its 6th year. Aimed at supporting the careers of emerging and mid-career artists, the award broadens audiences by presenting the winners' ambitious and creatively risk-taking solo projects within the established commercial context of the London Art Fair, which attracts an annual 30K+ visitors. By bridging the non-profit and commercial art worlds, and involving a respected selection panel of art world professionals, the SOLO Award is a unique, independent prize for artists who feel they are demonstrating strong potential or are at a pivotal point in their careers. In 2017, Chiara Williams Contemporary Art is proud to take over the directorship of the SOLO Award ™ (established by WW in 2012) and will present SOLO Award 2016 winner Victoria Lucas at the London Art Fair 2017. Read more about Victoria's new project Lay of the land (and other such myths), which will launch at the London Art Fair 17-22 January 2017. The 2017 call for entries will officially launch at the London Art Fair in January 2017 and simultaneously online. The selection panel looks for artists who are not afraid to stand out from the crowd, artists with the strength and foresight to buck the trend and create work that is creatively risk-taking. With a focus that stretches further than new graduates, the SOLO Award recognises that artists can be producing outstanding work at any age and any stage of their career and therefore welcomes submissions from anyone aged 18 - 108. Each year, the SOLO Award invites a fresh, independent panel of art world professionals to choose their winner. Previous judges have included: Sarah Monk, Francesco Pantaleone, Gordon Cheung, Danielle Arnaud, Fedja Klikovac, Kate Brindley, Cherry Smyth, Lisa Milroy, Alison Wilding, Charlotte Mullins, Ceri Hand, Gill Saunders, Sheila McGregor, Helen Sumpter, Kate Davis, Deb Covell. Applications usually open in January and close in the spring. |
