Ana Manso, Mariana Gomes, Luísa Jacinto, Pedro Vaz e Tiago Baptista, finalists of the FLAD DRAWING Award 2025

The 5 finalists of the FLAD Drawing Award 2025 have been chosen: Ana Manso, Mariana Gomes, Luísa Jacinto, Pero Vaz and Tiago Baptista. The work of these artists will be exhibited at Drawing Room Lisbon, which takes place between October 23 and 26 at the National Society of Fine Arts, in Lisbon. The winner will be known on October 25th.

The 2025 edition of the FLAD Drawing Award will distinguish the best among the almost 200 applications received. This year, for the first time, five finalists were selected instead of ten, who will have the opportunity to exhibit their work at Drawing Room Lisbon, which takes place between October 23rd and 26th, at the National Society of Fine Arts, in Lisbon. Another novelty of this year’s edition is that each artist will receive a production grant for the exhibition worth €2,000.

The winner will be announced on October 25, at Drawing Room Lisbon – which is once again a partner of this initiative – and will receive a monetary prize of 20 thousand euros.

This award aims to support the production and artistic innovation in Portugal, to recognize the artistic talent in Portugal and to support the promising artists of our country. The area of artistic production chosen was the drawing, for its important representation in the Collection of Contemporary Art of FLAD and for constituting an artistic expression of a very intimate relationship with the creator of art. In the last editions of this annual initiative, the artist Pedro Tropa, the artist Maria Capelo, Carla Filipe and Rosa Baptista were awarded.
