The third edition of the Abraaj Capital Art Prize founded by Abraaj Capital is the only art prize specifically for the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia (MENASA) and is unique as a prize in rewarding proposals rather than a previous body of work. The aim of the prize is to empower potential and give often under-represented contemporary artists the resources to further develop their talent. Artists working in any medium, of any age and experience are welcome to apply. Five winning artists will be notified in the middle of 2010 and will begin work on their projects. Winning submissions will be unveiled at Art Dubai in March 2011.
Deadline: Jan 31st 2010
