Salon Art Prize 2010

Since 2007, Matt Roberts Arts has produced an annual Salon exhibition, supporting 244 artists and photographers and receiving over 2800 visitors.

The Salon Art Prize incorporates Painting, Sculpture and Installation (including sound), and 2-D Media (which includes drawing, collage, printmaking etc). The exhibition will open on 7th October, 2010.

Matt Roberts Arts expects to exhibit up to 100 artists in their gallery on Vyner Street in East London with one exhibitor winning the selectors’ prize – £1000 and a solo exhibition in 2011.

Objective

Submit works in the following categories:

  • Painting
