The Sør Artist Award has established itself as an important prize for emerging artists in the Agder region. The award is given every other year to a young artist from the region.
The four nominated artists are selected and nominated by a regional professional committee and are given the opportunity to present their work in an exhibition at Kunstsilo.
A national professional jury then selects the winner of the Sør Artist Award, worth NOK 150,000, based on the works shown in the exhibition.
In addition to the jury’s decision, we invite you as a member of the audience to vote for your favorite. We encourage everyone to take the time to explore the exhibition, form an opinion, and cast their vote. The artist who receives the most votes will be awarded the Audience Prize of NOK 50,000.
The exhibition will present a broad spectrum of contemporary artistic practices, reflecting the diversity of themes, media, and working processes artists engage with today.
Stay tuned for information about this year’s nominated artists.
The Sør Artist Award is awarded by Sør-fondet in collaboration with Kunstsilo. The prize was also established to highlight and promote contemporary art in the Agder region and to recognize and support emerging artists from this part of the country.
