The Tel Aviv Arts Council & Outset Contemporary Art Fund Israel have partnered together to create the Young International Artist Award, furthering their organizational missions to strengthen and celebrate the creative culture of Israel. Each year, the organizations will join together to support, highlight, and honor a young Israeli based artist who was not raised in Israel - exploring the role of various cultures and perspectives in creating an authentic Israeli creative voice.
Specifically, the award’s grant will be used by the honoree to create a new exhibition of original works at a nonprofit artistic institution in 2015.
The award celebrates and supports the artist’s potential for substantive international success in his/her future artistic career. Many of Israel’s most promising artists have the necessary talent but lack the resources to move their careers to the next level- especially on the international art stage. The Young International Artist Award includes a financial grant of 10,000NIS towards original work in a public/nonprofit showing; local and international PR and marketing assistance; and exposure in the arts community of Israel. The artist will kindly donate one work to a nonprofit museum collection in Israel.
