Three Young Artists Win Linstow Art Award
Three graduates of the Latvian Academy of Arts receive €3,000 each, a free studio space, and an exhibition opportunity.
This year, 36 applicants from the master's program of the Latvian Academy of Arts (LMA) competed for the professional art award "Linstow Art Award". An international jury selected three laureates whose works best met the evaluation criteria and demonstrated artistic quality and growth potential.
Each of the three winners will receive a cash prize of €3,000. Additionally, they will have free access to a 25-square-meter art studio in the "Sporta 2" quarter in Riga for one year, along with the opportunity to exhibit their works.
Eligible applicants were this year's graduates and artists who had graduated from LMA's Visual Arts, Visual Plastic Arts, Audiovisual Media Arts, or Design programs within the last three years.
The "Linstow Art Award" was established in 2025 through a partnership between real estate developer "Linstow Baltic" and LMA. Its aim is to provide a modern platform for young Latvian artists to start their professional careers and develop their talents.
