Only few weeks more to the deadline for the second edition of the international contest Donkey Art Prize
2011/2012.
The art prize, promoted for the first year by the Veneto region and others, is the contemporary art
competition awarding the best international artist. Starting from this edition, together with painting and
photography/digital art categories, there’s a new discipline for the participants: video installations. The
winner of each section will receive a 5.000 euro cash prize and will exhibit his art work in 5 worldwide
galleries.
The subscription deadline is February 15th, 2012, followed by the presentation of the 150 finalist’ pieces of
art to the public through a series of exhibitions in Milan, London, New York, Shanghai and San Paolo. The
Main Event, with the award ceremony, will be held in Milan in May 2012.
All the locations that will host the exhibitions are of great influence in the art sector and, thanks to that,
many artists participating in last year edition have already become pro.
Blindonkey Cultural Association presents now the novelties of the second edition: beside the cash prize of
more than 18.000 euro and the possibility of presenting the art-work internationally, the association
assures great visibility to every artist participating to the contest. We would like to remember also that,
thanks to the Anonymous Marking criterion, each participant, either being well known artist or emerging
one, has the same chance to be part of the 150 finalists and win the cash prize.
