Mallorca International Art Award
Contemporary Art on Mallorca
Founded by the private initiative of a group of dedicated collectors and art lovers, the Mallorca International Art Award will be presented for the first time in September 2022.
The jury has now announced the winners from a group of 43 participating artists. The Mallorca International Art Award prize winner in the category of mid-career artists is Marcelo Viquez. The winner in the category of emerging artists under 35 is Alba Suau.
About the Award
The MIA Award 2022 was launched by Mercedes Estarellas, gallery owner at Kaplan Projects in Palma, and Paul Jörg Feldhoff, Ulf Appel, and Anne Nowitzki from Frankfurt am Main. The initiative has come together with the aim of promoting the work of artists who live in Mallorca or are connected to the island. The creation of the Mallorca International Art Award is therefore of extraordinary importance for contemporary art on Mallorca. It enables the further development of artistic positions there. At the same time, with the art award, an important instance for the promotion of contemporary art on an international level has been launched. In this way, the high level of artistic creation on Mallorca is brought into focus beyond the local borders. The group therefore attaches great importance to the permanent establishment of this art prize.
The festive award ceremony is embedded in the Nit de l’Art in the patio of the Museu de Mallorca. On this legendary night, all of the city’s museums are open and shine brightly: in late summer September, the Mallorcan capital and its art scene show their best and most spectacular side. Far away from “Ballermann-tourism,” art, and culture enthusiasts as well as artists get to know each other on the popular island. It is the night of the year for an inspiring exchange!
