XXX Premi Pintura Algemesí
Art resurfaces after the DANA: Valencia hosts the 30th Algemesí City Painting Award
The Drassanes del Grau in Valencia will become the epicenter of contemporary culture with the opening and awards ceremony of the 30th edition of the prestigious Algemesí City Painting Award. This competition will be held next Thursday, April 3, at 7:00 p.m. in 2025.
The exhibition will be on display until June 29, 2025.
This event will be more than an opening: it will be a celebration of unity among artists, institutions, and cultural stakeholders. The solidarity and commitment of all involved have resulted in a joint effort to keep the creativity and artistic spirit of Algemesí and Valencia alive, joining forces to continue promoting contemporary creation from local spheres.
A prestigious international jury
The jury, composed of distinguished international experts such as French curator Alexandre Roccuzzo, IVAM curator Teresa Millet, award-winning Josep Esteve Adam (BMV Prize), and artists Sílvia Castell and Antonio Barroso, has decided to award this year's Prize to the young artist Estefanía Serrano Soriano, a native of Altura, Castellón, for her work "Two Minutes and Thirty-Three Seconds," a fascinating geometric abstraction with op art effects. The winning work will be incorporated into the Algemesí museum collection, which is undergoing a revival after the recent floods.
We invite all art and culture lovers to participate in this significant moment for the world of contemporary painting and to enjoy one of the most important exhibitions of the season, curated by Àlex Villar and Ukrainian artist Svitlana Davydenko.
