The Emerging Artist Prize & Exhibition returns for its seventh year in partnership with World Art Dubai to give up-and-coming artists a chance to showcase their talent.
With over 800 submissions received and lots of talent in display, our judges have had a tough time selecting the 10 shortlisted pieces that you can find below.
The long-standing collaboration with World Art Dubai, organised by the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), has grown to become an important event for up-and-coming talent, attracting thousands of entries every year, and on this edition it promises to be just as exciting.
The shortlisted artworks will be displayed at the Rove Hotels’ Emerging Artist Prize stand in the event. The 11th edition of the MENA region’s biggest retail art fair takes place at DWTC from 17-20 April 2025 and will bring together 4,000 pieces of art from +300 galleries and artists from +60 countries worldwide, from emerging artists to established talent.
