PRESS RELEASE Art SD 2017

The 2017 emerging SD Art Prize artists will be announced at the end of the City College exhibition. Those two artist from this exhibition will be chosen to receive this the 2017 SD Art Prize and they will in turn choose two established artists to mentor them and to be co-exhibitor at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library in the spring of 2017. Additionally there will be an extra cash prize for the people’s choice from this exhibition.

• All Nominators will be writing about their nominee who is a local Avant Guarde artist i.e. one who is current and important in our day. We see these nominators as Champions of the artists they nominate.
• Nominators have never nominated an artist before for the SD Art Prize or New Contemporaries show
• All nominated artists will be included if they accept our invitation

Emerging artist definition: artist who are emerging with new, fresh ideas. This is not about the age of the artists or the exposure they have had, but what art they are creating now and in the past three to five years. We think of these artists as emerging from the darkness into the light of the public view.
