Museum commission award
In 2009, the Contemporary Art Society (CAS) will celebrate 100 years of purchasing thousands of works of contemporary art for museums throughout the UK. As part of the celebrations, CAS will launch a major new award open to its nationwide membership of museums to commission an artist early in their career to create a new work for their public collection.
The Contemporary Art Society Annual Award, £60,000 prize, is sponsored by the Sfumato Foundation. The award aims to develop public collections through new commissions, and to support and extend the practice of an emerging artist by generating a specific and enduring response to a public collection through contemporary art.
Further information and details on how to apply will be available in March, with the award winner announced in November.
