FLAD DRAWING PRIZE / DRAWING ROOM
This annual award, worth 20,000 euros, aims to support creative work and artists, recognizing artistic talent in Portugal. The chosen artistic production was drawing, due to its important representation in FLAD’s Contemporary Art Collection and because it constitutes an artistic expression with a very intimate relationship with the art creator. In the latest editions of this annual initiative, artists Pedro Tropa, Maria Capelo and Carla Filipe received awards.
A large number of Portuguese artists working in the field of drawing took part in this initiative, which received more than 200 applications.
