About Us
The Refresh Art Award was set up in 2017 as a biannual art award to showcase contemporary artists who were making art about the world around them, and not just fruit bowls, flowers and hyperreal portraiture that sells. After our first show in 2019, we are BACK in 2021 to create the next snapshot of the true face of contemporary art now. Refresh are proud to be borderless and open to international entries.
What's in it for you?
- We've got a £3000 prize for our main award. £300 prize for Our Times and £300 Drawing Special Mention.
- We'll put on a final show in London in November 2021 for all the shortlisted artists. Shortlisted artists in the final show get paid, and have the opportunity to sell their work with promotion from us and no commission taken.
- EVERY SINGLE artist who enters will be in our website gallery during 2021, plus feature in ad hoc social media advertising.
