The nominees for the 2022 Tatra banka Foundation Art Award have been announced. The jury published the names of artists who have contributed to the most outstanding artistic achievements in the period from 1 July 2021 to 31 August 2022.

The 27th annual Art Award will be granted in 6 categories: audiovisual work, fine arts, theatre, music, literature and design. We will know the names of the laureates on 26 January during the award ceremony in the new premises of the Slovak National Gallery.

The symbol of honour is a bronze Muse statute awarded in the Main Award category and plaque for the Young Artist Award winners. Both awards have been created especially for this occasion by the Slovak sculptor and artist Daniel Brunovský. The winners will also receive a financial prize, EUR 10,000 in the Main Award category and EUR 5,000 in the Young Artist category. The prize has so far been awarded to 114 artistic personalities, 77 young artists and 10 young fashion designers who had the opportunity to design a dress for the muse – the host of the evening.
