Young Talents Award for Fine Arts Carinthia 2025

Τhe G & A Mamidakis Foundation Art Prize was established in 2019 as a culmination of the Foundation's thirty-year long efforts to strengthen contemporary artistic leadership and innovation. It supports contemporary artists by offering them the opportunity to create a new site-specific artwork that will not only become part of the Foundation's art collection, but will join an important cultural heritage as well. 

  
The 2025 Art Prize invites Greek and international artists to apply. The selected proposal will stand out for its originality, creativity, and site-specificity. 

  
The 2025 Art Prize calls for site-specific, large-scale land art installations created to remain on permanent display outdoors, and become part of a specific, configured environment; works which narrate an internal path/route, and which can be reference points within their exhibition space. The 2025 prize is open to visual artists working in one or more of the following fields: land art, environmental art, ecological art, sculpture, sound and sculptural installation, mixed media, and artists working with natural materials, creating works that integrate art and nature with the aim of generating innovative experiences in open spaces.

The selected proposal will be awarded the amount of 30,000 euros, and the Foundation will also cover the construction of the work. The selected artist will have from January until the end of May 2025 to create their proposed work, which will be presented to the public in the summer of 2025 and remain on permanent display at Minos Palace, in Agios Nikolaos, Crete.

  
The Foundation also covers the transportation costs of the work, one return ticket to Crete for the selected artist, as well as accommodation and meals at Minos Palace.

**Introducing “Synthetica and Alterica” - Silicon Valley International Contemporary Art Competition and Art Review Exhibition:**

In an age where technology permeates every aspect of our lives, **Synthetica and Alterica** invites artists to explore the evolving relationship between artificial intelligence and the human experience. This is not merely an exhibition but a reflection of the complex interplay between innovation and identity in our increasingly digital world.

We seek to showcase works that question how technology is reshaping our understanding of creativity, identity, and otherness. **Synthetica** represents the seamless integration of technology and artistic expression, a merging of human and machine that pushes the boundaries of what we consider possible in the creative realm. **Alterica**, on the other hand, delves into concepts of exclusion and difference, exploring how technology both connects and isolates, creating spaces of belonging while also reinforcing divides.

Winners will receive certificates of recognition and their achievements will be highlighted in major media outlets across the UK, US, Europe, and beyond, granting them significant international exposure.

Online exhibition opportunity from December 30, 2024, to January 30, 2025, 

Exhibition grand prize winners will also secure a coveted spot in the 2025 group exhibition at ArtX Gallery. 

The recipient of the Grand Prize will be invited to join the academic committee, enhancing their professional involvement in the art community.

If any winning artworks are sold during the competition or exhibition period, the artist will retain the full commission from these sales.

**Award**

* **Master Award**
* **Best Creativity Award**
* **Best Visual Effect Award**
* **Art Innovation Award**
* **Rising Star Award**
* **Excellence Award**
* **Honorable Mentions**

The Art Sanctuary team invites you to propose a collaboration for the international event ‘The Enchanted Garden 2025’ at Jodoigne, Belgium. It integrates sculptures with other artistic expressions, such as poetry, music, dance, and why not theatre?

  
At least half of the visitors come for the garden with its many facets, such as ponds, brooks, meadows, woods, the 'Secret Garden', labyrinth, terraces, rose hedges and the numerous benches to relax with a view on the countryside of Haspengouw. There are no exotic plants, no 'cultivars', but a rich variety of indigenous, spontaneously grown wild plants (wild orchid in abundance). It is not for nothing that it is called a structured, natural, water-rich landscape garden full of contrasts. A visit to 'The Enchanted Garden' combined with the assets of Brabant's Haspengouw and Jodoigne will certainly pleasantly surprise you.

  
_The working theme for 2025 is: Transparency, colours, dreams_

Dates for the 2025 season (to be confirmed):

* Introduction: mid-April to mid-June 2025, to be confirmed
* First period: mid-June to mid-August 2025
* Second period: mid-August to mid-October 2025

In 2025 Art Sanctuary will create a tourist trail linking several interesting and high-quality sites. We will integrate the sculptures into the specific setting of these sites. The rotation of some of the sculptures will increase the visibility and sales of the works. It invites visitors to discover the exhibition as a whole.

We are publishing an electronic book of poetry with photos of the sculptures as an electronic catalogue.

  
‘The Enchanted Garden’ takes place for the twelfth time during the summer of 2025 in a poetic sculpture garden with water, contrasts, and surprises in abundance. It is located halfway between Brussels, Liège and Namur and on the ‘RAVEL’ cycle path linking Leuven, Tienen, Hoegaarden, Jodoigne and Namur.

The Adachi Contemporary UKIYOE Award 2024 is now calling for 21st-century ukiyo-e artists. Ukiyo-e prints, loved worldwide, are the result of a collaborative effort by three artisans: the ukiyo-e artist, represented by masters like Hokusai and Hiroshige, who draws the original design; the carver, who meticulously carves the design onto woodblocks; and the printer, who transfers the image onto washi paper. The works created by these artists have served as a “mirror of the times,” reflecting the societal and cultural contexts of their era and captivating many people. Since its inception in 2009, the Adachi UKIYOE Award has sought artists to become the next generation of ukiyo-e artists, producing designs that serve as the foundation for modern ukiyo-e. Award winners will have the opportunity to collaborate with contemporary carvers and printers to turn their designs into woodcut prints. Would you like to become a ukiyo-e artist like Hokusai and create works in collaboration with today’s carvers and printers?

* **1st Prize**: 300,000 yen + your picture will be made as a woodcut print by contemporary artisans and a complete print will be given to you

  
* **2nd Prize**: 150,000 yen + your picture will be made as a woodcut print by contemporary artisans and a complete print will be given to you

  
* 3**rd Prize**: 50,000 yen

THE ADACHI CONTEMPORARY UKIYOE AWARD 2024

**The Lab Program is a cross-disciplinary art laboratory based in Mexico City that usually receives one resident artist per month.** Submissions are open all year round and dates arranged according to availability.

  
Applicants interested in questioning their production process and willing to expand their questions through genuine curiosity as main critical guide are welcome to apply. Site-specific art making, embodied art-practices and, expanded narrative fields as methods of research in the process of this residency are encouraged.

  
Participants get the chance to share their work in process and final outcomes in public events, usually hosted in one of our peer art-spaces in the City.

  
The format of each public presentation depends on the nature of the project developed during the time of the residency. Projects are usually based on site specific production and art research dynamics. The making of artists’ books, as a way to democratize the knowledge of each investigation is highly encouraged but not mandatory.

Each resident needs to pay for their own housing, living, production and traveling expenses.

The Lab Program operates as a self-funded art-lab, actively collaborating with other independent spaces in Mexico City. Recognizing the financial constraints artists often face, we strive to make our program accessible. Our fee, already significantly subsidized by the lab's resources, is just half of the actual cost. While we understand that everything comes with a price, we're committed to providing mediation, curatorial, and research support prior to your arrival, helping you submit your project or research for potential funding opportunities from your home country or city.

Get in touch, we can find a way to make your engagement possible! Currently welcoming submissions from any discipline or background, as long as you view your practice as a form of site-specific, spatial narrative, and/or embodiment engagement.

**ESP**

El Lab Program, opera como un laboratorio de arte autogestionado, colaborando activamente con otros espacios autogestionados en la Ciudad de México. Reconocemos las limitaciones financieras que a menudo enfrentan los artistas, y nos esforzamos por hacer de este programa y red de colaboradores un espacio accesible. La tarifa, ya está significativamente subsidiada por los recursos propios del laboratorio, y es solo la mitad del costo real. Aún así nos encantaría brindar apoyo de mediación, curaduría e investigación antes de tu llegada, y ayudarte a presentar tu proyecto de creación-investigación para posibles oportunidades de financiamiento desde tu lugar de origen o ciudad.

¡Escribe y quizás, podemos encontrar una manera de hacer posible su participación!

Actualmente, estamos recibiendo aplicaciones de cualquier disciplina o antecedente, siempre y cuando tu práctica se involucre con una forma de narrativa espacial específica, práctica sitiuada y/o cuerpo.

🗓️ Deadline for early Spring: December 29th, 2024

The Lab Program | Spatial narratives + Site-Specific Art

The INHABIT artist-in-residence program of the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics invites artists from the performing arts and music to collaborate with our team of scientists and researchers. The integration of artistic thinking and knowledge as reflective practices in their own right is an important dimension of the Institute’s mission. For this the presence of art and the inspiration and challenge of artistic practice are essential. The interaction between these different perspectives creates a productive space for artists and scientists to collaborate in.

  
For this reason, INHABIT invites artists to spend four months creating new work, or further developing an existing project, in a scientific research environment. Openness to the mission of the Institute and interest and readiness to work together with individual researchers or research groups are naturally preconditions. During the residency, the Institute will provide space, resources, and facilities for productive experimentation, dialogue, and collaboration.

  
Work developed during the residency will be presented in cooperation with various local arts institutions in the form of an exhibition, performance, concert, or other presentation, and complemented by discursive formats.

  
**About MPIEA**

Founded in 2013 and located in Frankfurt/Main, the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics brings researchers from the humanities and the sciences together to investigate the field of aesthetics. This involves asking how and by whom art is appreciated, and which art, for which reasons, under which situational and historical circumstances, as well as analyzing the functions of aesthetic practices and preferences for individuals and societies. The MPIEA is currently the only research institution in the world that is dedicated solely to interdisciplinary research on aesthetic perception and evaluation. The MPIEA is one of 86 research institutions of the Max Planck Society, one of Europe’s leading organizations in the field of basic research. To learn more, please visit our website.
