Aesthetica Calls for Artists to Submit Work for Its Art Prize

Aesthetica magazine is calling for artists to submit their work for its renowned art prize. The Aesthetica Art Prize gives artists the chance to showcase their photography, digital art, paintings, mixed media, and more. It also offers opportunities to connect with top curators and gallerists, win £10,000, gain publication, and secure a coveted place in the Aesthetica Art Prize exhibition.

The Aesthetica Art Prize has a history of propelling artists to bigger stages, with past participants going on to exhibit at renowned institutions such as Foam Amsterdam, Centre Pompidou, Tate, MoMA, Saatchi Gallery, and the V&A. Many have also been nominated for prestigious awards like the Prix Elysée, Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize, and Sony World Photography Awards. This art prize is an exceptional platform for artists looking to advance their careers on an international stage.
