About The Ateneo Art Awards
Aptly entitled, "The Next Wave," the 2009 Ateneo Art Awards promises to be yet another milestone in Philippine art history as it hurtles towards the future clad in five years of success. The Awards recognize the idealism, verve and promise of Filipino youth, and celebrate the awe-inspiring brilliance of their creative imagination. It honors innovative, enlightened, and committed visionaries who, through their exemplary practice of the visual arts today, symbolize the hope and promise of a nation.
First presented in 2004 in memory of the Gallery's founding patron Fernando Zobel de Ayala, the Ateneo Art Awards is on its sixth year and has since grown to become a voice of authority in Philippine contemporary art. Recognized internationally, and known locally as one of the most coveted contemporary art prizes in the country, it is given to three outstanding Filipino artists aged 35 and below who have made a significant mark on contemporary Philippine Art.
Artists may be nominated for works in a solo or group exhibition held in any public venue from 2 May 2008 to1 May 2009. The nominator must be a current or former member of the Jury, public gallery director or curator (commercial and non-commercial), independent curator, professional visual artist (must have participated in at least one solo or group exhibition in a public venue), art administrator, art journalist, or an art educator residing in the Philippines.
The winners will be announced in a grand ceremony to be held on 13 August 2009 at the Shangri-La Plaza Mall, subsequent to an exhibition of their works with the other short-listed artists.
