What makes contemporary art contemporary

Interested parties can register until June 8th, sending their portfolio with proposals for works through the www.premioedpnasartes.institutotomieohtake.org.br. The page also offers a publication, in PDF format, with suggestions on organization and presentation of the works of art.

The Award concludes with the presentation of the works of the 10 finalists in the Tomie Ohtake Institute, when, at the inauguration on November 29th, the three award winners will be announced, and will receive scholarships to the artistic residence in Brazil or abroad.
