The Emerging Artist Award at fortyfivedownstairs is a proven catalyst for ongoing recognition and professional development and allows audiences the privilege of accessing early-career works by exciting emerging artists. Entry is open to anyone in an early stage of their career wishing to submit a work that has not previously been exhibited in another art prize.
A $3000 prize pool will be awarded to two submissions that best explore our engagement with the natural and built environment, interrogates familial relationships through sensory experiences, and challenges our very sense of identity.
As well, the People’s Choice Award will give audiences the chance to vote for their favourite work. The winner is the recipient of a prize pack of artist supplies that has been kindly sponsored by Jasco.
The Emerging Artist Award is made possible by the generous support of The Cuming Bequest.
The Emerging Artist Award 2024 is also proudly supported by Bambra Press and Wonki.
