For its third edition, the Norval Sovereign African Art Prize has shortlisted thirty artists, including four Moroccans: Safaa Erruas, Amina Agueznay, Youssra Raouchi and Ghizlane Sahli.
The works of the nominated artists will be exhibited in Cape Town from 14 February to 15 May 2024. The Grand Prize will be awarded on 13 February, the day before the exhibition. The works will be auctioned by Sotheby's in equal parts for the benefit of the artists and the Norval Foundation learning centre. The Public Prize is open to all (to vote, follow the link here).
The Norval Sovereign Prize for African Art aims to benefit contemporary artists, working in Africa or from the African diaspora, by increasing their international visibility. It is the result of a collaboration between the Sovereign Art Foundation and the Norval Foundation.
