Rove backs Emerging Artist Prize, entries sought

DUBAI, February 1, 2024

Rove Hotels, an award-winning lifestyle brand, has joined forces once again with World Art Dubai, the region's leading retail art fair, to hold the sixth edition of the Emerging Artist Prize, an initiative that provides a platform for artists, who are coming to the fore, to display their talents.

Rove said it has been committed to fostering local talent, collaborating with emerging artists to infuse its hotel interiors with a creative twist on regional culture.

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 that brings together 4,000 pieces of art from +300 galleries and artists from +60 countries worldwide, from emerging artists to established talent.

Ahead of the 10th edition of World Art Dubai, one of the MENA region's biggest retail art fairs, taking place at DWTC from May 2-5, 2024, Emerging Artist Prize is inviting submissions from talents worldwide.

This year's theme, "Cultural Crossroads," encourages artists to explore and celebrate the fascinating intersection of various cultures and traditions from around the world.

The inspiration for the theme comes from the brand’s connection to the region – the Middle East is a melting pot of cultures, a place where the East meets the West, and heritage meets innovation. It thrives on exchanging ideas, art, and traditions with its diverse population, a statement said.

How to Enter The Emerging Artist Prize

Round 1: Submission Stage

Until April 1, artists can submit their digital work – be it images, illustrations, animations, or 3D digital art. The artwork must meet the minimum resolution of 1000x1000 and dazzles in formats like JPEG, GIF, PNG, or MP4.

It can be a digital painting that fuses elements from different artistic traditions, a photograph that captures a moment of cultural exchange, or a 3D art piece that explores the intersection of traditional and modern influences.

Artwork can be submitted via rovehotels.com.

Round 2: Final Shortlist

By April 21, the best submissions will be chosen, up to a maximum of 10 artworks. All selected works will be displayed at Rove Hotels' exclusive Emerging Artist Prize stand at World Art Dubai between May 2-5, 2024.

Prizes

One lucky winner will receive the Grand Prize, an exclusive opportunity to showcase their artwork at World Art Dubai 2025 in their own complimentary space.

There will also be a People’s Choice Award winner selected by the public. The award carries the value of AED 5,000 ($1,361) in cash prize. Both artists will also receive a complimentary stay at one of Rove properties throughout Dubai.

The Jury

The judging panel will comprise some notable names from the world of art. Joining the Rove Hotels Design Team in the selection process will be Petra Kaltenbach, a Master of Visual Communication, alongside Batool Jafri and Samar Kamel, Curators at World Art Dubai. – TradeArabia News Service
