The Aesthetica Art prize celebrates contemporary art in all its forms, offering opportunities for exhibition at a major public art gallery alongside publication. Since 2007, Aesthetica have worked with thousands of artists, putting their work in front of curators and gallerists across the world.

The 2023 Aesthetica Art Prize Exhibition, a celebration of international contemporary art, returns to York
Art Gallery on 24 March – 4 June 2023. The exhibition brings together 21 talented artists in a show that
offers creativity as a form of expression, with projects spanning the boundaries of genre – from painting,
photography and sculpture to installation, mixed-media and video. These works survey the ethics of
representation, mass digitisation, globalisation, diasporic identities and the threats of climate crisis. This
year’s shortlist of international artists is a testament to shared creativity in a time of rapid change.
