WHAT IS ART?
Art is more than just paint on canvas or metal sculptures, art is a conversation starter, a meeting point, a starting point for ideas, or a lasting recognition of what has already taken place.
Art has no boundaries, it transcends culture, ethnicity, age and experience. Art can be a universal language that unites communities.
But at its core, art is simply creative.
The Blunden Prize celebrates precisely that – the endless potential of art to connect us all.
For the 2024 Blunden Prize, we are inviting artists of all disciplines to showcase the breadth of what public art can entail.
