Homiens is committed to paying artists, and provides over $12,000 USD in unrestricted cash awards to artists each year. We feature helpful information for artists and collectors on our website, and are proud to deliver beautifully designed catalogs and editorial initiatives like The Homiens 60 and Meet the Artists to an audience based in the United States, and internationally, comprised of public institutions, buyers, curators, and practitioners. The Homiens Art Prize is among the highest paying prizes in the world run by an independent gallery that, in order to protect the integrity of its artistic mission, accepts no sponsorship. To support artists, we ensure that 100% of the value that we offer in our prizes is received by artists as cash.
The Homiens Art Prize awards artists over $12,000 USD annually, which means that it is one of the highest paying art prizes maintained by an independent art gallery that, to protect the artistic integrity of the prize, accepts no sponsorship. We ensure that 100% of the value that we offer in our prizes is received by artists as cash awards. In addition, ownership of all artworks entered remains with the artist. All entrants are free to exhibit and display their artworks elsewhere.
Our prize is open to all artists and art forms internationally. We celebrate our chosen artists across our media, exhibiting their art online where it is viewed by artists and collectors throughout the world. Homiens sponsors a platform for artists to network and collaborate, reach a global audience of buyers and collectors, gain institutional validation, and locate opportunities in the professional artistic industries.
This round, three winning artists and twelve finalists will exhibit with Homiens as part of our seasonal exhibition program. In addition, each winning artist receives an unrestricted cash award of $1000 USD, may participate in an optional interview, and may request a letter of recommendation from our Jurors. Additionally, up to 200 artists per round are highly commended and celebrated across our media (including our website - 100,000+ annual visitors - and our extensive mailing list). All entrants are considered for exhibition. Furthermore, each entrant to The Homiens Art Prize receives a certificate of participation which can be used to contribute towards a demonstration of professional participation in the art industry.
