Description:

The Prisma Art Prize, organized by Il Varco srl, is an international annual art competition dedicated to promoting contemporary two-dimensional artistic practice. The prize is structured around four quarterly calls, with finalist works presented in an annual group exhibition at Palazzo Merulana in Rome. The jury is led by Artistic Director Marco Crispano and Curator Domenico De Chirico, joined by over a dozen international jurors including artists, gallery owners, critics, and scholars. The competition brings together emerging and established visual artists from around the world, providing an international platform for those working in traditional 2D visual arts through professional curation, exhibition opportunities, publications, and long-term development initiatives such as artist residencies.
