This project is dedicated to the promotion of emerging artists.
Discover the talents we have selected since 2017, represented by our online gallery through exhibitions, publications, and events. We are also preparing to participate in art fairs and auctions to further support our artists.
Now, in 2025, a new Challenge begins!
On this page, you can submit your application and take the first step towards becoming part of our growing network of artists.
Our magazine was awarded Art Magazine of the Year 2023 at the London & South East England Prestige Awards 2023/24.
This recognition reflects our ongoing commitment to innovation and quality in every aspect of our work: from the services and opportunities we offer to artists, to our curatorial approach, editorial projects, marketing strategies, and the development of our professional network.
The judging criteria included an evaluation of branding and communication, business development, artist and client experience, and our ability to embrace new ideas and curatorial perspectives.
The London Prestige Awards celebrate organizations that consistently deliver a personal, creative, and high-quality approach, maintaining the highest standards of excellence.
In 2025, we continue to expand our projects, creating new opportunities for emerging artists and strengthening our presence in the international art scene.
Our experts will supervise the selection process.
You will be notified if you pass the pre-selection and advance to the second stage, bringing you one step closer to becoming one of the artists selected each month.
At the end of the year, all finalists will take part in the final challenge, and the winners will become part of COLLECTIVE 25.
