UdK Berlin Art Award
The UdK Berlin Art Award has been awarded annually since 2023 in the Fine Arts programme and the Art and Media programme at the Berlin University of the Arts. A jury composed of renowned figures from Berlin's art and cultural scene, awards the prize to four Meisterschüler*innen from each year. The prize includes the award-winning exhibition and a monographic catalogue.
The UdK Berlin Art Award replaces the ‘Prize of the President of the UdK Berlin for Master Students of Fine Arts’, which was awarded from 1997-2022.
