Abraaj Capital Art Prize _ The Museum of Arts and Design
The Abraaj Capital Art Prize, which at $1 million is one of the most generous art prizes in the world, focuses on promoting and supporting young talent from the MENASA region (Middle East/North Africa/South Asia). With a flourishing art market in place, time has come to pay attention and tribute to the regional artistic talent and this is ACAP’s main goal. The selection committee of ACAP selected three recipient curator/artist teams out of 100 applications: Cristiana Perrella & Kutluğ Ataman; Carol Solomon & Zoulikha Bouabadellah; and Leyla Fakhr & Nazgol Ansarinia. They are currently working on their projects which will be unveiled during Art Dubai. They will also become part of the Abraaj Capital corporate collection. http://www.artdubai.ae
