Art prizes are awards given to artists for their outstanding work in various forms of visual art, such as painting, sculpture, and photography. These prizes can be offered by organizations, galleries, or institutions and often come with monetary rewards, exhibition opportunities, or recognition in the art community. Many art prizes aim to promote creativity and innovation, encouraging artists to push their boundaries. Notable examples include the Turner Prize in the UK and the Archibald Prize in Australia, which celebrate contemporary art and portraiture, respectively, and help elevate the careers of emerging and established artists.
