The Award will be granted for the first time in 2011. It does not only go to support the work of the awarded artist, but also helps in the successful realization of the winner’s international exhibition.

The Leopold Bloom Art Award is realised in co-operation between the Maurice Ward Group (Ireland) and ACAX | Agency for Contemporary Art Exchange.
