The Signature Art Prize

Originally established by our art partners DegreeArt and Contemporary Collective in 2006, the Signature Art Prize celebrates and identifies emerging artists’ ‘Signature Style’. It provides crucial support to young artists, helping them exhibit and promote their work in the often-challenging art landscape.
