Call for Applications: The European Prize for Applied Arts 2018
The European Prize for Applied Arts celebrates the work of artists in the field of applied arts and design-led crafts and living in a European country. The initiative recognises excellence in craftsmanship and includes an exhibition of selected work and two awards.
Prizes
The “Master Prize” Prize of the Ministry of Culture of the Federation Wallonia- Brussels
€ 3,500
will be awarded to the author of a masterpiece in any craft based material.
The “Young Talent Prize”, Prize of the World Crafts Council-Europe
€ 3,000
will be awarded to a young artist displaying excellence in the realisation of a piece of work through the manipulation of materials.
Both prizes will be awarded on the basis of artistic & technical skill and demonstrate originality and innovation in response to the theme “Monumentality – Fragility”.
Selection
The European Prize for Applied Arts aims to reward the best creations of contemporary expression in applied arts and craftsmanship.
The exhibitors and the winners of the WCC-BF "Master Prize" (3.500€) and the WCC-Europe "Young Talent Prize" (3.000€) are chosen by a jury of international experts on the basis of criteria of artistic merit, technical mastery and innovation.
Competition Theme 2018: "Monumentality - Fragility"
The theme is selected to coincide with an exhibition devoted to Niki de Saint-Phalle at the Art Museum of Mons. De Saint-Phalle’s work can be described as both monumental and fragile, the strong colour palette, exuberant proportions, the power and the violence allude to a monumental character from which a palpable fragility is released.
Competition Exhibition
The European Prize for Applied Arts Exhibition of selected work will take place from 20th October 2018 until 20th January 2019, at the Grand Hall of the Anciens Abattoirs of the City Mons, Belgium and subject to funding will tour to the National Design and Craft Gallery, Ireland in early 2019.
About the Competition Organisers
The European Prize for Applied Arts is organized by the WCC•BF, in partnership with the City Mons and WCC-Europe. It is supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Federation Wallonia-Brussels.
