StartPoint: Prize for Emerging Artists

During its ten years of existence, StartPoint has evolved from a national exhibition of graduation projects to an extensive European project that follows emerging artistic talents. Each year, several curators map out by now almost 40 art schools from 18 European countries in order to select the most interesting graduation projects, which then pass through further rounds of selection until the final exhibition, which features over 20 of the most distinctive artists.

However, StartPoint is not only about an exhibition accompanied by
a catalogue and a website. Just as importantly, it is about encounters between artists and experts across countries, traditions and genres that can bring both them and the audience new opportunities for comparison. There is also a residential programme for the overall winner and other prizewinning finalists, which aims to continue this process.

This year, the exhibition of StartPoint finalists will for the first time bring to Prague the most interesting members of the coming generation of European artists.
