One of Ireland’s most unique arts awards, exclusively organised by artists for artists as part of K-FEST. Given for a single outstanding work of visual art each year, the award is a self-funded, not-for-profit initiative celebrating emerging visual artists. The K-FEST Arts Award (Formely Screaming Pope prize) recognises exceptional achievement from an emerging artist at this stage in their development. We aim to encourage the pursuit of excellence, and seek to help promote the highest standards of quality in the visual arts.
