06. 06. 2019. – 25.07. 2019.

The project “GRATA AWARD”, organized by the art gallery MuseumLV of Culture centre GrataJJ's, is the grand summer contest exhibition, which has already become a tradition and calls to participate professional artists, the quality of whose work meets the standards of the gallery.

Grata Award in visual arts has two monetary prizes, 500 € each. One of the winners is selected by representatives of the gallery and experts' committee, while the other will be decided by the visitors of the exhibition, who will have the opportunity to vote for their favourite artwork.

The patron of Grata award is the manufacturer of ecological houses Grata Eco House.

This year all the involved artists have been provided with canvas of the same size - 40x40 cm, to create a work especially for the contest, and these are the artworks that will be judged. Each artist has the chance to exhibit one or two thematically fitting works to create a context for the competition works that help to represent artists personality. The artworks will be exhibited without indicating the artists' names, until the very end of voting.

Exhibition occupies both floors of the gallery MuseumLV.

The theme of the contest of 2019 is the “Source of power”. Source of power is something that exists in the nature and is connected with underground world and water. A source of water connects two worlds. A spring of water brings refreshment. We can view the source of power as a metaphor – the very origin of artwork creation. It is something that, originating in depth, brings us vitality; it is something we can return to again and again to rejuvenate. Our uniqueness is revealed by the diversity of our roots, the very soil where they stem from is different and the source of power is unique for each of us, for the water varies, it is full of energy and inspiration and we ourselves change and are different every time we return to the source.
