With the support of EECKMAN, the Art on Paper fair, which is dedicated to the promotion of the current art scene, is launching a call for projects exclusively for artists and art students whose practice reflects an affinity with drawing.
The laureate of the EECKMAN ART PRIZE will have the opportunity to exhibit their work:
- as a solo show during the Art on Paper fair, from October 3rd to 6th 2024.
- in the reception areas of Eeckman in Brussels during the week of the fair as part of Brussels Drawing Week (30/09/2024 to 6/10/2024).
- within the international network of the Eeckman group, member of the PatrimOne Group in Paris, Geneva and/or Monaco.
Through this prize, Art on Paper and Eeckman plan to make their networks and high profile available to the laureate by:
- exhibiting the laureate’s work during the Art on Paper fair and in Eeckman sites.
- publishing a press release co-signed by Art on Paper and Eeckman and distributed to the general press and specialised Belgian and international press.
- publishing an article/interview on Art on Paper’s website and on the social networks of both companies, and in newsletters to their respective networks of collectors, professionals, and art lovers.
- in addition to this promotion, a transport budget of €1,000 is allocated to the laureate; furthermore, the insurance of his or her work is taken care of by Eeckman for the duration of the exhibition.
CALL FOR PROJECTS
Applications are open to any artist or art student, with no age limit, as long as they are not represented by a gallery. The project submitted to the jury must be based on the practice and technique of drawing, but may be open to other formats (except photography) than the traditional line on paper - performance drawing, three-dimensional drawing, movement drawing, etc.
The application must include works that are suitable for exhibition, as well as a project for an exhibition for Art on Paper and in the Eeckman reception areas. Works that have not yet been completed may be presented, but these must be presented to the members of the jury beforehand for validation of their exhibition.
The prize does not provide for a production budget. The project must be described as clearly as possible so that the jury can make their selection on the basis of a specific exhibition project.
