In support of our mission to provide an ever-changing line-up of talent, we enlist the help of a new Selection Committee for each edition. A team of art-world experts who bring their respective talents and differing perspectives, our committee chooses our final artist line-up from hundreds of applications. We’re delighted to introduce you to our October 2024 Committee.
