The Boomer Art Prize

Fourth edition

4th edition

As an Artsy partner, Boomer Gallery is thrilled to offer its artists international exposure through our exclusive online programming.

 

At Boomer Gallery, we are dedicated to nurturing and unveiling the full potential of the artists we work with. For the 4th edition of The Boomer Art Prize, we go beyond offering financial support or exhibition space. Our mission is to help launch your career into the same realm as prestigious blue-chip artists.

With Artsy, the largest collectors’ platform on the planet, connecting over 4,000 top galleries worldwide- Boomer Gallery is uniquely positioned to give your career unparalleled visibility and credibility. Representation on Artsy through Boomer Gallery for one year is not just about exposure; it’s about becoming part of an exclusive global network of collectors, curators, and galleries.

And the best part? After this one-year period, your artist profile will remain permanently on Artsy, ensuring your presence and portfolio are always accessible to collectors and galleries. This creates a lasting footprint in the art world, with the potential for continuous discovery and new opportunities far beyond the initial representation.

Awards and Recognition

In line with our commitment to amplify emerging voices, The Boomer Art Prize will select 25 exceptional artists to be featured on Artsy. This prestigious platform isn’t just an exhibition space, it’s a global stage that signals professionalism, credibility, and entry into the world’s largest art market.

Permanent Artsy Profile

Each of the 25 selected artists will receive a dedicated profile on Artsy, where their works will be showcased. While Boomer Gallery will represent you on Artsy for one year, your profile will remain permanently visible on the platform. This lasting presence gives collectors and galleries ongoing access to your work, opening doors to exciting new collaborations and sales opportunities.

Broad Exposure and Networking Opportunities

Being featured on Artsy opens doors to global exposure. Your work will be accessible to an extensive network of collectors, galleries, and art enthusiasts, who can add your pieces to their collections or exhibits through Artsy. This platform enhances your professional profile, making you a credible and sought-after artist in the international art community.

By winning “The Boomer Art Prize,” you not only gain a significant boost in visibility but also join an elite group of artists recognized for their unique artistic contributions and potential.

A jury of experts composed of some of the top minds in contemporary art will debate, review, and score each application:

  • Anthony Fawcett: Esteemed art critic and historian known for his extensive collaborations with globally-renowned artists.
