The George & Aristea Mamidakis Foundation invites applications from Greek and international artists for the 2027 Art Prize.
Τhe G & A Mamidakis Foundation Art Prize was established in 2019 as a culmination of the Foundation's thirty-year long efforts to strengthen contemporary artistic leadership and innovation. It supports contemporary artists by offering them the opportunity to create a new site-specific artwork that will become part of the Foundation's art collection and join an important cultural heritage as well.
The Art Prize 2027 invites artists from around the world to submit proposals for a large-scale sculptural installation designed for permanent display in an outdoor setting, serving as a distinctive landmark within the space. The winning proposal will stand out for its originality, site-specificity, and creative vision.
The works are evaluated based on the clarity and conceptual coherence of the proposals, their relationship to the selected site and its specific context, as well as their potential to offer an active and engaging experience to the viewer. Consideration is also given to the scale and integration of the work within its surroundings, technical and structural feasibility, public safety, and sustainability and maintenance requirements.
The Art Prize 2027 is open to visual artists working in the fields of sculpture, installation, sound installation, mixed media, constructions using natural materials, land art, environmental art, ecological art, and practices that interweave art and nature to create innovative experiences in open-air environments.
The selected proposal will receive an award of 15,000 EUR and the Foundation will cover all production and installation costs. The selected artist will have the period February–May 2027 to create the awarded work. The completed piece will be unveiled to the public in June 2027 during a dedicated ceremony and will remain on permanent display thereafter.
Deadline for applications: December 30, 2026, 11:59pm Greek time. Applications are to be submitted exclusively through the dedicated form on the Foundation's website.
