In its 2010 release, Start Point is bringing together young artists selected from 33 art academies of 15 European countries. From each academy the jury selects one candidate, who enters the final exhibition and is also listed on the official website and in the catalogue of the exhibition.
The main task of Start Point project is to promote the emerging contemporary artists and to bring them new experiences and contacts just after their graduation. We aim to provide a wide platform for fresh art graduates and university personnel, but also for art connoisseurs and professionals and for both local and foreign public.
During its first seven years at Galerie Klatovy/Klenová, Start Point Prize has evolved into a respected overview of emerging European artists (see the archive at www.startpointprize.eu). Officially labelled as 'Start Point, prize for emerging artists 2010', it is moving in its 8th annual edition from Klatovy/Klenova to GASK, newly opened Central Bohemia's museum of art in Kutná Hora, which should further improve the quality and notoriety of this extensive project.
