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.
A large number of Portuguese artists working in the field of drawing took part in this initiative, which received more than 300 applications in this second edition of the award.
The 10 finalists for the 2nd edition of the FLAD Drawing Prize have already been chosen. Their work will be exhibited at the 5th edition of the Drawing Room Lisbon.
