In recognition of the importance of nurturing new creative talent, Club Monaco supports The Other Art Fair with the ‘Emerging Artist Award’
Visitors to the fair are invited to vote for their favourite exhibiting artist, and from these votes, a shortlist of four artists is put forward to a prestigious panel of industry figures appointed by Club Monaco and The Other Art Fair.
The successful artist chosen by the panel wins a £5,000 prize to build their own body of work. In addition, Club Monaco will exhibit the artist’s work in Club Monaco markets to provide further exposure and support to the artist.
