The George & Aristea Mamidakis Foundation is seeking applications for its Art Prize to promote and financially support contemporary artists, with the ultimate goal of highlighting excellence in the arts
Our deep love for art, combined with the desire to support and promote the advancement of artistic creativity, led to the establishment of the annual G. & A. Mamidakis Foundation Art Prize in 2019, a culmination of the Foundation’s thirty-year long effort to strengthen and promote leadership and innovation in the visual arts.
The Art Prize supports contemporary artists by offering them the opportunity to create a new, site-specific artwork which will remain on permanent display in Agios Nikolaos, Crete, will become part of the Foundation’s art collection, and will join an important cultural heritage as well.
The 2025 Art Prize invites Greek and international artists to apply. The selected proposal will stand out for its originality, creativity, and site-specificity. The 2025 Art Prize calls for site-specific, large-scale land art installations created to remain on permanent display outdoors, and become part of a specific, configured environment; works which narrate an internal path/route, and which can be reference points within their exhibition space. The 2025 prize is open to visual artists working in one or more of the following fields: land art, environmental art, ecological art, sculpture, sound and sculptural installation, mixed media, and artists working with natural materials, creating works that integrate art and nature with the aim of generating innovative experiences in open spaces.
Applications are open until 22 December 2024. We kindly ask that you read the OPEN CALL carefully before beginning your application.
